Topic: Construction of the interior of the Earth, plate construction of the lithosphere and tectonic movements - revision

1st‑grade student of secondary school, basic programme

Core curriculum (basic programme)

General requirements

V. Litosphere: relationship between the interior structure of the Earth and the tectonics of lithosphere plates, internal and external processes shaping the Earth's surface and their effects, rocks. Pupil:

1) explains the connection between the interior structure of the Earth and the movement of the lithosphere plates and its influence on the genesis of endogenous processes;

2) explains the course of the main internal processes leading to the diversification of the Earth's surface (epicogenic movements, tectonic movements, volcanism, plutonism, earthquakes);

4) recognizes selected types of rocks and presents their economic application.

General aim of education

The student repeats the knowledge and vocabulary in the scope of the section „Factors and processes of sculpturing. Plate construction of the lithosphere. Orogenic movement”

Key competences

• communication in the mother tongue;

• communication in foreign languages;

• learning to learn.

Criteria for success
The student will learn:

• ask and answer fellow students' questions about geomorphological factors and processes;

• consolidate the material from lessons: „Where do we get knowledge about the construction of the Earth?”, „Layers forming the Earth”, „Minerals and rocks of the Earth's crust”, „How is the Earth's crust built?”, „Does the movement of lithosphere plates affect the surface of our planet?”;

• consolidate the vocabulary connected with lessons: „Where do we get knowledge about the construction of the Earth?”, „Layers forming the Earth”, „Minerals and rocks of the Earth's crust”, „How is the Earth's crust built?”, „Does the movement of lithosphere plates affect the surface of our planet?”.

Methods/techniques

• expository

  • talk.

• activating

  • discussion.

• programmed

  • with computer.

Forms of work

• individual activity;

• activity in pairs;

• collective activity.

Teaching aids

• e‑textbook;

• computers with internet access, or tablets.

Lesson plan overview

Before classes

• Before the planned repetitive lesson, the teacher asks all students to recall the material of the e‑textbook from the the scope of lessons the construction of the interior of the Earth, plate construction of the lithosphere and tectonic movements, and the selected ones, to prepare a crossword based on the mechanism of the abstract for colleagues to work during the lesson.

Introduction

• The teacher explains the aim and planned course of the lesson. They explain the success criteria to be achieved by the students.

Realization

• Students display interactive crosswords on the interactive board. The task of the others is to guess individual passwords. After each crossword, students assess the questions based on the technique of lights (whether they are clear, logically formulated). The teacher assesses questions in terms of language and provides feedback.

• Asking questions. Students use the form to write questions addressed to a friend in order to check the understanding of the text being heard.

• Students, using the mechanism included in the abstract, prepare a test question for a friend.

• Working with the map. Students analyze the map and on the basic on it tell about subduction zones.

• Expansion and enrichment of English vocabulary in the field of issues covered in the lesson - students carry out linguistic exercises included in the abstract. The teacher makes sure that the tasks have been correctly completed and give feedback..

Summary

• The student indicated by the teacher sums up the lesson, telling what he has learned and what skills he/she has been practicing.

The following terms and recordings will be used during this lesson
