Volcanoes

The article I found today comes from a website called Weather Wiz Kids. This website offers tons of information on different natural disasters. One natural disaster that they offer information on is Volcanoes. Now this blog is designed to discuss different ways to teach elementary students about land forms  so this article is great. It is set up especially for kids. It is question answer form, and is written in student friendly language. It offers many great text features such as

diagrams,

a glossary,

 and tables.

 This article is also great for teachers because it also offers links to lesson plans, experiments, and project ideas that are all online. It is also a great resource for teachers as well because it answers some of those questions that students are really interested in. As well as acts like a guide for the information that the students need to understand what a volcano really is. It mostly covers those important bits of information that teachers really need to focus on. It also has a few little tid bits of information that may not be as important.

This article has many different uses. As I mentioned it can be a resource for teachers, something for them to build their lessons off of, as well as find other lessons. Also, like I said before, it provides ideas for experiments and projects that may be fun to implement in the classroom. This could also be a personal document for students if they are writing a research paper on volcanoes. For instance if the students are to write a research paper on land forms  this article may be one that teachers recommend to their students. The article also moves into another natural disaster at the end, which can be a help to teachers as well, by recommending what to cover next.
