Please get out your Journey on the Rock Cycle Papers
Journey Sheet
Pre-Planning Page
Direction Sheet for Comic – if you got it Friday

2. Journey on the Rock Cycle Comic Strip
Purpose: To show that I can create a model to describe the cycling of Earth's rock-forming materials and the flow of energy that drives this process
You are telling a story through your comic

3. What do I need to show in my comic?
My model correctly shows the types of Earth materials and processes involved in rock formation, along with one source of energy.
My model correctly shows how one source of energy causes rock forming materials to change over time. I also correctly show how each rock forming processes is connected to the others.
My model correctly shows the length of time and amount of space necessary for some of the rock forming processes to occur.

4. Use your Journey on the Rock Cycle: Analysis & Cartoon Pre-Planning worksheet to help you sketch in each box what happened to you along the journey.
For example: in box #1 you will need to sketch a picture that shows all of the following:
the place/setting where you were
the starting materials/rock you were
the action that happened to those materials
the energy that caused the action (sun, gravity, heat from Earth’s interior, etc)
the result of the action
Be sure to follow ALL directions explained on your handout. Comics are due by end of class on Wednesday.

5. Tuesday 2/7/17 No Notebook Entry!!
Mrs. Burke will be passing back your Beach Sand question from the start of the unit. Please complete the following:
Re-read the scenario
Re-read your answer on the left side. Ask yourself “Do I still think the same thing?”
On the right hand side write your end of unit answer
If you still think the same thing explain what you learned in this unit that supports your thinking.
If you think something different then write a completely new explanation.

6. What to expect on your test
You will be given a story of a possible journey on the rock cycle.
You will have to identify the key processes and materials involved in the rock’s journey.
What should I use to study:
Vocabulary cards- igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation
Rock Type Info Quest Journal
I would even encourage you to go to my webpage and go through the online interactive again.

8. Wednesday 2/8/17
Notebook Entry: Brainstorm 3 words that would be processes of the rock cycle. Hints: Think about all the action words you saw on the Journey on the Rock Cycle dice and that you are including in your comic. For example: what would you label the numbers on the graphic to the right in order to explain what is happening?

9. Rock Cycle Review – Tree Sort
Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
Take Post-Its and write each process word from your brainstorm list on a post-it.
You will come up and place your post-its under the rock type that involves that process.
