Weather and Reporting Project
We are going to begin a weather project. In this project, you will research a weather event, create a diagram of your event, and teach the class about this event by creating an information sheet AND either by presenting your report, or by recording a weather broadcast with the green screen.
You will need to write a formal "works cited" page, and you will need to "copyright" your weather diagram based off of what you learned in the digital citizenship lesson.
These are your weather events. Your name should be next to the event you chose:
Tornado– Lantis
Blizzard- Ashton
Wildfire- Blake
Flood- Sara
Flash flood- Kaia
Hurricane - Hannah
Drought- Keira
Avalanche- Hudson
Hail- Hailey
Lake-effect snow- Nichole
Major thunderstorm/supercell- Caleb
Acid Rain- Gracie
Thunder and Lightning- Marissa
Sandstorms- Morgan
Typhoon- Anna
Extreme Heat- Connor
Rain shadow- Raelynn
Snow- Alyssa
Tides- Brooklyn
Rain- Zena
Sleet- Lilleigh
Use the below resource to find out information about your weather event, and take notes on your document in Notability. MAKE SURE YOU CITE EVERY SOURCE YOU USE. Some people will have to use other online resources to find the information they need on their weather event. Make sure you write down every web address you use. When you take notes, write down basic important information, and put sentences into your own words when you finalize your project.
