Erosion and Deposition Picture Dictionary

                 Using Publisher  (86 pts.)                             

Background: 

Most people think of the land as fixed and never changing  what is here today will be here tomorrow and forever.  In the perspective of a human lifetime, that view makes some sense.  But in the context of the history of Earth, that view is not valid, since Earth's surface is constantly changing.  During this project you will explore the forces that change Earth's surface.  Flowing water, frozen glaciers, waves, and wind all wear down and build up landforms.

Task:

Using Publisher as your presentation tool, create a picture dictionary booklet (total 20 pages) which includes terms related to landforms created by erosion and deposition from gravity, water, glaciers, waves, and wind.  You will have 4 days to complete this task.

Procedure:

1.  Define all words before you begin creating your picture dictionary on the computer.  Please have this done

           before the first day in the computer lab so that you don't waste computer time.  Alphabetize your words!!

2. Design a cover page that includes: your name, period, title of project in your own words, and a photograph of

           natures beauty

3.  Include a table of contents page that includes: each vocabulary word in alphabetical order and the page it is

           located

4. Include a symbol page:  each vocabulary word must be identified with a symbol that represents its formation

            as a result of gravity, erosion, or deposition. 

One symbol for each gravity, erosion, and deposition

    Each vocabulary word must also be identified with a symbol that represents its formation as a result of water,

           glaciers, waves, or wind.

One symbol for each water, glaciers, waves, and wind

5.  Create a page for two vocabulary words (33 words will give you 17 pages.  Each page must include:

Two vocabulary words-  must be larger than definition (Wordart?)

Symbols for gravity, erosion, or deposition for each word

Symbols for water, glacier, wave, or wind creation for each word

Picture for each word

Definition for each word

Source you found each picture (bibliography  website, book, etc.)
