Good Morning,

Start today off by reading the Key Science concept in text with notes.  It is also on pages 338-339 in the textbook.  Study the pictures!!  Next I will have you pick a famous volcano out of a container.  This will be your topic for a volcano report.  Today you will READ and take general notes about your volcano.  Do not start the slide show until I put a template in google classroom. Start with the article in Wikipedia about the volcano. Then search other sites for more information.  You need to become an expert on your volcano because you will be presenting your report to your group in order to teach them about your volcano.  Have fun!  Eric, your volcano is Mt. Pelee and Marco yours is Mt. Vesuvius. 

You will have today and tomorrow to create a Geo Bulletin poster to warn communities about natural hazards they may face. Use the maps and data from investigation !.  Use the questions on page s 5 and 6 to guide your thinking. Identify areas of high, medium and low risk for earthquakes and volcanoes. Explain how you used data to identify each area.  Your poster should be colorful and alert people to the hazards of earthquakes and volcanoes around the globe. Have fun and be creative. Tomorrow at the end of class you will present your poster to your partner.

Welcome Back!!

Review what we have done so far in the packet.  Pay attention to the location of earthquakes and volcanoes.  Answer the questions on pages 5 and 6 in the packet in preparation for the activity tomorrow.
