Good Evening Scientists,
Make sure you are working on your vocabulary book. You can structure your book in different formats; such as a dictionary, a powerpoint, a newspaper, an article, a story; I know some people are doing a rap. The words you are creating a book on are listed below and are on your KIM Chart(Vocabulary Chart). Folding Plate Tectonics Covergent Boundary Divergent Boundary Transform Boundary Fault Compression Tension Uplift Subsidence Instructions: You will create a book with illustrations (pictures) using your vocabulary terms above. Book must include: - A title - Definition of vocabulary term - Pictures (be creative and colorful) - All vocabulary terms must be used. Be CREATIVE!!!!!!! You can use notebook paper, poster paper, or color paper. You can present the book in powerpoint format; it's your choice! Make sure your "book" includes: a title, pictures, definitions of vocabulary words, and ALL vocabulary terms are used. For 1st, 2nd, and 4th period- your homework is due on Wednesday. For 3rd period - your homework is due Thursday. For homework, make sure you complete your restless continents article with the questions, the newsela article, "Plate tectonics: Earth's continents and oceans are on the move" with the 4 quiz questions. For 2nd and 3rd period, make sure you have questions 1-9 answered. To assist you on those questions, use the newsela article in your homework packet. As an additional resource, you can always use the online textbook.
