M: Well, basically it's a kind of artwork that was done by sailors on whaling ships.
W: When there weren't any whales around, there might not be much for the sailors to do and they often got pretty bored.
M: So to entertain themselves, they started carving stuff on whale bones and whale teeth.
W: OK, so basically the term 'screemshore' refers to the artwork that sailors created. Usually out of whale bones and whale teeth. Can you give me an example of something that sailors might have carved.
M: Well, for one thing, I remember reading that they carved things that could be used around the house, you know, cooking and sowing utensils, that kind of stuff.
W: Good.
M: You know, I noticed from the pictures in the article that some of the carvings have really detailed images on them, like they have some pretty sophisticated pictures of famous people and historical themes and stuff like that. And I was wondering just how they did that.
W: That's a very good question and it brings us your assignment for tomorrow. While at the museum, I'd like each of you to take some notes on the various technique used in making screemshore, so that we can discuss them when we come back to class.

W: Yes, it was fantastic. Now I know why it is listed together with the Nile river as one of the great natural wonders of the world. Here, want to see the picture I took?
M: Oh, what a view! It is even bigger than I had imagined. I remember reading about the Great Valley and I think it said that it was formed suddenly when an earthquake took place.
W: Well, not that quickly. Look, the river has been wearing the valley floor away for ten million years.
M: Then the valley is the result of soil changes. I'll bet geologists have made some interesting discoveries there.
W: Not only the geologists, archaeologists have also found the bones of extinct animals in caves in the valley walls, ha a cave one hundred and forty feet 'about the river, they found driftwood that dated back as far as thirty seven thousand years.
M: That means the river must have been a hundred and forty feet higher up when it carried the driftwood into the cave.
W: It's very possible, but of course who knows. The Great Valley is full of mysteries. Wouldn't you like to go to Arizona some day?
M: You bet I would.

M: Oh, what a view! It is even bigger than I had imagined. I remember reading about the Grand Canyon and I think it said that it was formed suddenly when the earth's crust split open during an earthquake.
W: Well, not that quickly. Look, here is the picture of Colorado river. See way down at the bottom of the canyon, that fiver and its tributaries have been wearing the canyon floor away for ten million years.
M: Then the canyon is the result of swale erosion. I'll bet geologists have made some interesting discoveries here.
W: Not only the geologists, archaeologists have found the bones of extinct animals in caves in the canyon wails. In a cave one hundred and forty feet above the river, they found drift wood than dates back as far as thirty seven thousand years.
M: That means the river must have been a hundred and forty feet higher up when it carried the driftwood into the cave.
