Time 11:33

Teaching/learning activities Introduction Mark roll, and then watch you tube clip on tectonic plates http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtqumXEHKUs

11:38

Teacher Input Hand out student assessment task sheet Geomorphic Hazard along with Question & Note Taking framework. Go through the task requirements as a class. Review question types and get students to generate literal, inferential, and evaluative questions for their inquiry. Remind students may want to add additional questions as they continue their research.

11:52

Teacher Input/Student Activity Set up a KWL chart on plate tectonics model on board; What does the K, W & L stand for get students to write to the meanings on the sheet. As a whole class go through K What do they already know about Tectonic Plates? W -). Generate low & high order questions as a class on Plate Tectonics, re: what they want to know? L Read Geoactive pg 88 aloud to the class (review information locating skills ask students to find the page in the book). After each paragraph/idea, stop and get students to see whether their questions from W have been answered. Get students to write down any answers to their questions, plus any other key pieces of information they have learnt.
