Talk to your parents about any glaciers they've seen in real life or know about. Dicuss what they looked like and how that glacier was shaping the land around and beneath it. Write about where the glacier was, how big it was, and any other details your parents can describe about it. If your parents haven't ever seen glaciers in real life, do some research, look up a glacier and tell us about it.

*Remember, you must write a paragraph of at least 5 sentences.
