Form 3 - Montserrat project instructions NEW DATE!

I have given yu instructions for 2 assignments this week but be clear about what you have to do for both of them. You must also note that I have changed the date of submission for the Montserrat project. All of Form 3 will submit their projects on Monday 1st October (i know you have not got a lesson on that day).

1) The individual project is based on a volcanic eruption on the island of Montserrat. The instructions are as follows :

Your task is to produce a project which outlines the volcanic eruptions on the Caribbean Island of Montserrat. It will provide an assessment grade and it must include the following:
An introduction which outlines Montserrat’s location
What plates are involved in this area?
When and why did the volcano erupt?
What were the short term and long term effects?
What help did the islanders get from the ‘outside world’?
Plus any other information that you think is relevant
This project must be no longer than 5 pages. You will lose marks if it is longer. Make sure that the size of the font you are using is no larger than 14. Please do not copy and paste text – put information in your own words since you will achieve a much higher grade.


2) The second assignment is a group presentation during which you must cover the following:
The cause, effect and responses to an earthquake in a MEDC and LEDC. You choose the earthquakes but make sure that they are both recent so that it is a fair comparison. I will let you know the date that your presentation will take place next lesson but make sure that everyone has a job in your group and that you have detailed content and are innovative.
