 * 1)    Do Now:    Answer prompts one and two, or prompt three using the strategy "TAG" on your "Do Now" Word Document:  
 * 2) Rock fragments rolling down a hill due to gravity is an example of the ............ process.
 * 3) Rock broken into fragments and sediments by the rain over time is an example of the .............process.
 * 4)  Define the process of weathering in your own words, and explain the difference between weathering and erosion.
 * 5)   After the "Do Now", review the learning objectives for this lesson. Students will be able to:
 * 6) Describe two ways rocks have been used by humans
 * 7) Describe four processes that shape Earth’s features
 * 8) Describe how each type of rock changes into another type as it moves through the rock cycle
 * 9) List two characteristics of rock that are used to help classify it
 * 10) Agenda: Notice that today's lesson is essentially a continuation from our last lesson

Afterwards, complete the assignment on page 3:
 * 2) Illustrate the rock cycle on a separate sheet of paper (activity 1 in blue text)
 * 1) Select one of the constructed response questions (2, 3, or 4 in blue text) and answer it on a separate sheet of paper
 * 2) After completing all of the above, take the self-assessment quiz in “Activities and Quizzes” for chapter 2, section 1 of your online textbook. If you have any incorrect responses, please review the topic again in your online textbook
 * 3) Complete a reflection of your learning on a separate sheet of paper, explain what you liked and what you didn’t like about this lesson. Please include how this lesson could be improved upon
 * 4) Assessment: Turn in your rock cycle illustration, constructed response on one of the three types of rocks, reading checks, cloze activity, and your reflection - in this order <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
