Teacher's Manual

This is a draft version of a teacher's manual for the "Our Dynamic Planet" CD. I welcome feedback. The handbook includes assignment descriptions, group activities, and scoring rubrics that are directly applicable for introductory earth science classes. I have also included some ideas on science rhetoric that you might find interesting.

* The teacher's manual files are also included on the "Our Dynamic Planet" CDROM.
