Ask students to choose one of those eruptions and create time lines detailing the volcanic events that occurred. When the time lines are complete, brainstorm with students a list of events that occurred during both eruptions. Use the list to create a time line of a "typical" volcano. Display the time line on a classroom bulletin board. Encourage students to draw or download pictures about the events listed and attach them to the time line. Assessment Evaluate students on the accuracy of the information in their individual time lines. Lesson Plan Source Education World Submitted By Linda Starr
