Select ONE of the ideas from the previous question.  This point will be the overall point that you will include in your topic sentence.  What general ideas support this point?  List as many as you can think of. For example, if you choose to write that a teacher is your favorite, a general idea to support that point is that she is caring. 

In the textbox below, type your introduction paragraph for Essay 1. You should use one of the strategies presented in the lesson on the introduction paragraph.  Be sure that your thesis statement appears as the last sentence of your introduction.

YOU DID it!!!  Great job this semester.  Explain one thing you enjoyed the most about this course.  How do you feel this course has or will help you in your journey as a leader/manager? Make sure to complete the end of survey.  Thank you for choosing YTC and my course.

The term ________, also called the looking-glass self, refers to our perception of another’s view of us.

[Metamorphism] If a rock is part of an accretionary prism in a subduction zone, the pressure on it will increase quickly but temperatures will increase more slowly. Where on the facies map would a subduction-zone metamorphic rock fall?

[Earthquakes] Below is an image of tectonic settings in which earthquakes occur in continental lithosphere. Subduction-related earthquakes in continental crust are not shown. Based on where you located the epicenter of the earthquake, in what type of tectonic setting did this earthquake occur?  

[Relative and Numerical Dating] Which of the fossils would be the best index fossil? Select one from the list on the right.  

[Metamorphism] Different geologic settings will produce different types of metamorphism. Match the type of metamorphism to its most likely geologic setting.  

[Oceans] Currently, sea level is rising about 0.31 cm/year. Since the disappearance of the last remnants of the North American (Laurentide) Ice Sheet 7,000 years ago, sea level has risen 4 meters (purple box). How does this historical rate (4 meters of rise over 7,000 years) compare to the current rate of sea-level rise (0.31 cm/year)?

[Metamorphism] The graph below is similar to the graph you used in the last two questions, except instead of showing the facies, it shows the grade of metamorphism and the likely minerals formed at each grade. The graph advances from low-grade metamorphism in the upper left to high-grade metamorphism in the lower right. Use the graph to answer the following question: If you started out with a basalt protolith and subjected the rock to high-grade metamorphism, which of the following minerals would you likely produce?
