1、.Dynamic Earth 8.6C, 8.9A,BThis project is due on:_Name:_Date_Per_Purpose: In this activity you will learn about Earths changing surface and impacts on societies by:1. Relating how force and motion is causing Earths changing surface2. Describing an event and its societal impacts caused by Earths cha

2、nging surface3. Correctly acknowledging the work of others and the sources of information used4. Using appropriate communication modes and formats (map, essay & presentation)Materials: meter stick, earth overhead, butcher paper, colored pencils, references, computer, IB rubricsProcedure: As a gr

3、oup, you will be creating a large world map, then, individually adding detailed information about Earths changing surface (map duties). Individually, you will write an essay which will be assessed with two rubrics. Correctly acknowledging your research sources will be assessed with one rubric. Compl

4、eting all formats (map duties, essay and oral presentation) will be assessed with one rubric.· Each person in the group will have a job and research a specific area of the earths changing surface. Job titles are: Seismologist, Volcanologist, Paleogeographer and Geologist. · All job titles

5、have specific map duties and essay focus. All essays have two parts. The first part relates force and motion to a specific Earth process. In the second part, you will describe one specific Earth event and how it impacted society. A minimum of 5 paragraphs is required for the essay and all key terms

6、are to be used in the essay.· All essays require a bibliography acknowledging the work of others by appropriately documenting them in a recognized referencing system.· Presentations will be done in groups with each person sharing their job.The responsibilities for each student, as outlined

7、 above, will be assessed by the rubrics that follow. Since the quality of the team map depends on the quality of each piece, it is important that each job be completed as assigned. You will be assessed only on your job. Each team member may have a different grade. The final product and essay count a

8、s a summative grade. A formative grade will be assessed twice, based on the checkpoint progress.Project Checkpoints:· 1-11 _ draw world map (w/latitude & longitude lines)· 1-13_ essay rough draft using all key terms (outline for 5 paragraphs)· 1-18_ complete essay with bibliograph
