Ideas To Note:
I used the wavy lines in the glitter paper & Chipboard to simulate tectonic motion. I was laughing so hard watching this whole demonstration, it’s a miracle any of these pictures are in focus =)
SUPPLIES:
Cardstock: Club Scrap
Patterned Paper: Glitter: Die Cuts With A View; Word: Marcella by K
Font: Gill Sans MT
Embellishments: Chipboard Wavy Baseboards: Technique Tuesday; Preglittered Chipboard Letters: Making Memories; Scrap Metal Letters: Pressed Petals; Soft Spoken Ribbon: Me & My Big Ideas; : Pigment Ink: Versicolor; Chalk: Colorbox
JOURNALING:
Meg had to instruct a class on tectonic plates as part of her student teaching. She created a tasty lesson that illustrated plate tectonic motion using frosting as the earth’s viscous layer that the plates ride on; fruit rollups as the oceanic crust and graham crackers as the continental crust. Prior to teaching her actual class, she used the boys to practice on. She explained about divergent plate boundaries by pushing the fruit rollups together directly on the frosting (frosting is exposed just like magma). Before she explained about continental-oceanic collision, she instructed the boys that they could eat just ONE of the fruit rollups. What a BIG mistake!! Once they started eating they got totally distracted. Which, I suppose IS just exactly like a third grade class! She did a great job of getting them back on track and proceeded to tell them to push one of their graham crackers against the fruit rollup (the graham cracker goes on top, just like the oceanic plate is below the continental plate). Then they were told they could eat the other fruit roll up and that sent them WAY out of control. While she TRIED to explain continent to continent collusion by pushing the graham crackers together, the boys got sidetracked again due to a major sugar rush. Meg decided that they all needed to be in ~The Special Class~ because they were so disruptive and not paying attention to her directions. However, when she gave the actual lesson, Meg got an ~A~!!! I think the boys gave her all the experience she needed, cause they acted exactly like a third grade class ok…well…maybe the ~special~ third grade class! =)
