 * 1) Do Now: Analyze the rock cycle diagram on page 55 of your textbook or online text and answer questions 1, 2 and 3 or question 4 with an explanation of how you derived your answer. All answers should be recorded in "sentence - format" on the same "Do Now" Word document or sheet of line paper.
 * 2) Review today's learning objectives:
 * Describe the origin of sedimentary rock
 * Describe the three main categories of sedimentary rock
 * Describe three types of sedimentary structures
 * 1)   If you have not done so, please log-in to your  [|Online Textbook]
 * 2)    Go to __Inside the Restless Earth__, Chapter 2, Section 3, page 40 of your textbook or online text and read the two "Terms to Learn".
 * 3)    Listen to and read along silently with the CD or your teacher to Chapter 2, Section 3 and be prepared to discuss the embedded "Reading Checks" on pages 41 and 43.
 * 4)  After shared reading record the definitions of your "Terms to Learn" on p. 40 into your Science Notebook.
 * 1) Complete the cloze activity worksheet (Provided by teacher.) after listening to and reviewing the animations in the "Visual Concepts" section of your online text (Chapter 2, Section 3). If you lose your worksheet, download and print a new one from the "Archive of Forms" in the navigation section of this website.
 * 2)  Check your comprehension and understanding of today's concepts by completing the "self-check" quiz on sedimentary rock in the "Quizzes and Activities" section of your online textbook.
 * 1)  Respond to one of the following higher order thinking questions (HOTS) on a separate sheet of paper:
 * Rocks are classified based on texture and composition. Which of these properties would be more important for classifying clastic sedimentary rock? (See figure 2, page 41 for rock samples.)
 * The sedimentary coquina is made up of pieces of seashells. Which of the three kinds of sedimentary rock could coquina be? Explain your answer. See coquina images @ [|Coquina Gallery]
 * If a rock is buried deep inside the Earth, which geological processes cannot change the rock? Explain your answer.
 * 1)  Reflection: How may I improve upon today's lesson?
 * 2) <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> Upon completion of your reflection, please finish all incomplete activities from sections 1 and 2.
 * <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> For section 1, the rock cycle, make sure you have completed all activities under "Agenda", 6 - 9

 * 1) Go to Batting Clean-up for links to these two sections.
 * 2) Extended Activities: If you complete all activities in sections 1 through 3, select one or more extended activities on the "Batting Clean-up" lesson. These activities will count as extra credit toward the 2nd term marking period.
 * 3) Homework: Complete a Frayer Model (Provided by teacher.) on sedimentary rock. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> If you lose your worksheet, download and print a new one from the "Archive of Forms" in the navigation section of this website.
