18 Future Activities Questions for the community: 1)How do we write the document to address many different audiences? 2)How do we best express content about the PROCESS of Earth Science? (i.e., how do we know what we know?) 3)What different venues for the literacy document should be used? (print, visual media, presentations,….)

19 Future Activities Questions for the community: 4)How do we get broad scientific community involvement with Earth Science Literacy? 5)How can this document make the greatest positive public impact? 6)How can ESLI be coordinated with other Earth Science E&O efforts? 7)How should the different scientific communities proceed with literacy efforts?
