This document outlines a three-day lesson plan on earthquakes that utilizes several graphic organizers, including KWLA charts, Cornell notes, and a Venn diagram. On day one, students are introduced to the topic with videos and use a KWLA chart to outline what they know and want to learn. They do assigned readings using Cornell notes and research questions for the next class. Day two involves peer teaching, reading about sample earthquakes, and comparing them using Cornell notes and a Venn diagram. On day three, students present their Venn diagrams and complete the KWLA chart with what they learned and how to apply it. The lesson incorporates graphic organizers to activate prior knowledge, organize notes, and compare earthquake information.
