Do Now There are __two parts__ to Today's "Do Now". __First__, copy - in your notebook - the following list of student work required to be placed in your student folder:  //**The Plate Tectonics Scavenger Hunt Packet**//, which includes the scavenger hunt hand-out and the two models of the Earth (Introduced as homework in the Mar 15-19 Lesson) //**Graded rubric**// //**for your model of the Earth**// (Introduced as homework in the Mar 15-19 Lesson) //**1st Constructed Response**//: "**Why do you think most earthquakes occur near plate tectonic boundaries?**" (Introduced in the Mar 15-19 Lesson) //**Plate Tectonic Sorting Activity**// (Introduced in the Mar 22-26 Lesson) //**2nd Constructed Response**//: "**Compare and contrast the three types of plate boundaries.**" (Introduced in the Mar 22-26 Lesson) //**Plate boundary collage**// (Introduced in the Mar 22-26 Lesson) //**Earthquake & Volcano Plotting Activity**// (Will be introduced in this lesson or next week's lesson.)

__Second__, explain how faults are created, and identify the three types of faults. Be prepared to demonstrate your knowledge of how specific faults move by using your hands or any manipulative in the classroom. Wholeclass Instruction __First,__ review: The "Do Now", Fault Movement, & The relationship between tectonic plate boundaries and earthquakes (previous objective)

__Second,__ introduce this lesson's learning objectives: I will be able to //**discern and explain patterns between earthquakes, volcanoes, and tectonic plate boundaries**// I will be able to //**infer a relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes**//

__Third__, introduce the concept of a volcano

Reciprocal teaching/Independent work There are two parts to Lessons __First__, you must complete the activities from our previous lesson:

Note: Before you begin, please recall last week's learning objective - "I will demonstrate my knowledge of the three types of tectonic plate boundaries by using the TAG strategy and scoring a 3 on the constructed response question."

Activity One: Through reciprocal teaching or independently, complete the sorting activty [|Plate Tectoncis Sorting Activity.pdf] Activity Two: Independently, complete the constructed response: "Compare and contrast convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries." Activiely Three: Collaboratively or independently, complete the collage on one of the tectonic plate boundaries

__Second__, copy and review Today's learning objectives, which can be found in the wholeclass section, prior to in initiating the earthquake and volcano activity (Provided to selected groups who have completed the Plate Tectonics Sorting Activity).
