Tired of building a paper mache volcano to teach about plate tectonics? Do you want to connect science and writing? Then the volcano resume project is perfect for you. This one-week project requires students to research a specific volcano and then create a resume for it that describes its location, physical characteristics, eruption history, and additional information of interest. Students are also required to include references for the information included on their resumes. Figure 1 outlines the resume requirements. It also compares a human resume to a volcano resume. Figure 2 is a sample resume for the Sakura-jima volcano near Kagoshima, Japan.
