For a university-level introductory earth science course: an overview of the basics of plate tectonics, including the three types of boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform; oceanic plate subduction; continent-continent convergence; seafloor spreading; and mantle convection. There is also a discussion of the layers and components of oceanic crust (in relation to how it formed at seafloor spreading centers) and the accretion of terranes at subduction zones (as a means of continental growth).
