We will NOT have a story test this week.  Instead, students will create a mountain poster.  They selected whether they will work alone, with a partner, or with two partners.  This poster will replace the story test and will be graded on these criteria:

Mountain Type	Clearly Describe How Formed	Examples of these Mountains	Labeled, Colorful Picture	Neatness, Proper Spelling, Attractive Presentation
Mountain 1	/2 pts.	/2 pts.	/2 pts.	/2 pts.
Mountain 2	/2 pts.	/2 pts.	/2 pts.	/2 pts.
Mountain 3	/2 pts.	/2 pts.	/2 pts.	/2 pts.

* Use vocabulary and science words to describe each kind of mountain and to label your pictures.  Words you may wish to include are strata, magma, crust, lava, eruption, ash, molten rock, vent, plates, layers, shift, pressure.
