BW (Bellwork)- K-W-L (Know-Want to know-Learned) about earthquakes and volcanoes. This will tap into the students’ prior knowledge on the subject and also have them create questions to motivate learning. Students will share with partners first, then table groups, and finally as a whole class discussion.

CW (Classwork)- Students will learn why earthquakes and volcanoes happen. They will then move on the map out recent earthquakes and volcanoes. This shows the students where the major fault lines are in the world. The students will notice that there are large amounts of earthquakes and volcanoes around the west coast of the United States and the east coast of Asia. Students will also learn how to use the Internet to research. Teacher will provide examples of appropriate websites.

HW (Homework)- Students will research online earthquake preparedness in the United States and in Asia.
