I hope you all had an AMAZING and RESTFUL Thanksgiving Break.
You have no official HW due tomorrow UNLESS I did not collect your research paper graphic organizer on Wednesday before the break. We will be working with these graphic organizers Monday morning. I should either have this already (because I collected it Wednesday morning) or you should have it completed (except for the background info, transition sentences, and conclusion).
The other thing you could work on today is your 3D geology project. This isn't due until Thursday, Dec. 11th, but you would be wise to start thinking about your plan and how you will accomplish your ideas.
Reminder that you should be reading daily during the break! I'm excited to hear about what you have been reading.

3D Geology Project PLANNING SHEET
Our fall has consisted of focused learning about the Earth and geology, and now it is time to share the knowledge with our community! In addition to class work, murals, and e-core journals, you will also create (at home) a 3-D model of something geological that we learned and/or experienced to present at the
PANGAEA FESTIVAL on FRIDAY DECEMBER 12th
Step 1: IDENTIFY
Identify the content knowledge you are going to demonstrate with your project. (examples: the Missoula Floods, Mt. St. Helens eruption, seismic wave energy, etc.) What geology topic, big or small, will you teach the community about?
Step 2: PlaN & Design
Create a design and choose a medium to represent the geology concept or topic (cardboard, papier-mâché, clay, wood, fabric, recyclables, etc). Get your topic, design, and medium approved by your teacher before proceeding to step 3.
Step 3: CREATE
Gather the needed materials and build/construct your project!
Step 4: REFLECT & CONNECT
Determine how the geology ideas you are teaching connect to your lessons, activities, readings, labs, and field study experiences. Figure out these connections by completing the web on the back of this page.
Step 5: Explain
Write a short explanation of the geology your model is showing to accompany the piece. Your explanation should be clear and accurate, and mention the connections to your field study experiences and other geology concepts learned. Utilize your E-Core and other available reference materials to ensure accurate information. Cite sources as needed, and check for correct spelling and punctuation.
