Topic: Geologic Process Comic

Over this 3rd Trimester of in-home learning, you have learned about many different geologic processes that have formed Earth. Now, we would like you to choose one of those processes and create a comic strip model! Yes, there are topics that you have not learned about before...and that...is awesome! Feel free to do your own research! This project will be broken into separate steps, which will count as your weekly assignments, and will take two weeks to complete. All assignments, instructions, and examples can be found in Google Classroom.

Learning Objective: Students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of a geologic phenomenon by telling a story about it in comic strip form.

Activity 1: Geologic Process Example Comic

Since we will be making a comic to describe a geologic process, let’s take a look at some! Students will compare and contrast different example/model comic strips.

Activity 2: Geologic Process Comic Quick Draw

Students will practice creating a model by sketching the before, during, and after parts of a volcanic eruption as three separate steps in the process.

Activity 3: Choose & Describe your Topic
