Movie Poster Mania!

Today in class we finished watching the video over the Great Missoula Flood.  Once complete, we began making our movie posters.  Above are some examples of movie posters.  The students posters must include the following:  Title, 2 movie reviews, 3 facts, color, creative, picture, 75% or more of poster must be used.

About the Ice Age Floods

We are onto the Great Missoula Floods that had a direct impact on this area as well as Washington and Oregon!  We were to read the packet and then summarize our reading by creating a 9 box comic.  For Wednesday, students will need posterboard (NOT TRI-FOLDS).  We will be creating posters based on our learning.  Glitter, crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc are also needed!

Japan's Killer Quake

 

We watched a very powerful documentary about the 9.1 earthquake that rocked Japan three years ago along with a devastating Tsunami.  Along with watching the documentary, we completed a worksheet that went along with the documentary.  Posters were due today and judging will take place tomorrow.  The link to the movie as well as the worksheet are below.

Poster Day 2 and Other Stuff

 

We worked on completing our faults poster (see yesterday's post).  They will be due on Monday, graded as well as voted on by students to see which is best.

In other news, we will begin creating our earthquake resistant buildings next week and need supplies!  The supplies we need are wax paper and spaghetti noodles.  Anyone that can bring either one for the class to use it would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.



Have an awesome weekend!!

It's Your Faults Poster

It's poster time in class!  We are busy creating informative posters about the different faults that cause earthquakes as well as their movements.  NOTE:  We will finish them tomorrow (Friday) in class.  Winning poster from each class gets a candy bar 6 pack! How awesome is that?  The requirements for the poster are below and the information can be found on pages B49-50 in the book.
