Year 11 People and the Physical World - Plate Tectonics

The first task I would like you to do is to sort out your folder so that you have all your Plate Tectonic notes in one place. I then want you to make a contents page using the titles from your notes - this needs to be printed out.

Next I want you to create a glossary for this unit. Again I want you to type it out. This should be emailed to me by the end of the lesson. There are at least 20 words that you need to know related to plate tectonics. I would work through your textbook pages 6-22 typing out any word and definition that you think is important. The glossary at the back is also useful (page 239). Why not download some flashcards from Mr. Chambers website.

Whilst we are there I suggest that you start to explore this amazing blog from Mr. Chambers - is this the answer to all your revision problems? Also the geobytes website will be really useful to aid your revision.

I want to use a site called voicethread to help you revise and to share our notes. In order to do this you need to create a voicethread user-profile (please put in as little personal information as possible as this can be seen online by others). After you have created a user profile go to this picture log on and answer the question that I have created. I want you all to do this by tomorrow's lesson. You won't be able to see your comments until I have moderated them! But then everyone will be able to use them.

Finished? Please begin to do the same with your rivers notes
