How to assemble and use the I Have Tectonics cards:

•	Print out the Word document, I Have Tectonics cards . There will be 20 pages, one for each card.

•	Print out Word document I Have Tectonics script for your reference as students do the activity.

•	Print each image pdf file. Print four copies of the image file named I Have Crust.

•	Match each image to the appropriate text page.

•	Draw a line for each of the four graphics of the layers of the Earth (crust, mantle, outer core, inner core) pointing to the appropriate layer. Label each line.

•	Laminate each card (graphic on one side, text on the other side). You may wish to insert a stiff piece of paper in between the graphic page and text page for extra durability.

When you are ready to do the activity:

•	Mix up the cards, but keep the first card (I Have Tectonics) on top, so you know who will be starting the game. Let that student know he/she is the start.

•	Tell students to show the image on their card to the group while they are reading their card. Having everyone sit in a circle is helpful.

•	Keep a copy of the script handy so you can help students get back on track if they jump in out of sequence. Careful listening is the key!

•	If you have more than 20 students, assign two students per card, which is also a way for students to help one another read some of the less familiar language in
•	
the text. You may also want to assign cards to students before doing the activity to give them time to study their word and practice the text.

•	If you have fewer than 20 students, just give some students two cards.

•	Make sure YOU HAVE the sandwich cookies! End with Cookie Tectonics.
•	Have fun!
