Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Students locate on a map locations of largest earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes#Largest_earthquakes_by_magnitude
  2. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions only happen in certain places on Earth.
  3. The Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle are cracked into a number of large pieces (tectonic plates).
  4. The crust is relatively very thin.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
