Plate Tectonics Textbook

Today you will work with a partner to begin the Plate Tectonics Textbook. Your textbook will include four chapters. You will do this project using construction paper and printer paper. You may use the computer for research purposes only--not for the actual production of your textbook. The entire textbook is due Thursday, September 17.

Illustrator
You will be responsible for doing the illustrations for each chapter, and writing Chapter One. Illustrations do not need to be professional-grade, but should be as detailed as possible. Use color!

Editor
You will be responsible for writing Chapter 2, 3, and 4. You will also edit every chapter. Check for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and completeness.
