Learning Outcome 3: Students are expected to spell the vocabulary words by the end of the week.

 Essay Outcome: 5th Grade Science Class

My essay outcome for the students would be to draw a picture of a volcano and color it. I would also ask them to label the picture volcano.  They would do this with the rest of the natural disaster vocabulary words as well. Once they are done, I would ask each student to share one picture and the definition of it.   I would give them positive feedback for their efforts, while making sure the work was done correctly. This should show that they have an understanding of the words.
