A Think-Pair-Share Assessment
• Best procedures: read quietly to yourself
(so you don’t give any subconscious clues)
• As the instructor, we read it too, for timing, then ask if anyone
needs more time
• If not, it’s time to vote simultaneously—use your fingers, right
in front of your chest so others don’t see (anonymous)

What happens to slate (a metamorphic
rock) when it’s exposed to heat and
pressure?
1.
2.
3.
4.
It changes to a higher grade of metamorphic
rock with larger minerals
It gets flatter and denser but looks and stays
the same type of rock
It melts and forms new minerals
All of these
Where are we most likely to find
metamorphic rocks?
1. In abyssal plains on the ocean floor
2. In a river valley cutting through a very
eroded mountain
3. At the tops of young mountains formed
during continental collisions
4. In the middle of a deposit of cooled lava
