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 present your report 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. Only one person per weather event:
Tornado–
Blizzard-
Wildfire-
Flood-
Flash flood-
Hurricane -
Drought-
Avalanche-
Hail-
Lake-effect snow-
Major thunderstorm/supercell-
Acid Rain-
Thunder and Lightning-
Sandstorms-
Typhoon-
Extreme Heat-
Rain shadow-
Snow-
Tides-
Rain-
Sleet-
Use the below resource to find out information about your weather event, and take notes on your document or 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.
Here are the components you must have in your project:
1. Notes from various sources.
2. Information sheet with answers to research questions
3. Diagram of your weather event (copyrighted) created on Sketches.
4. Works Cites of all sources used
5. Broadcast/presentation with Script:
This will be focused on one historic event involving your weather event. For example: Hurricane Katrina, Phoenix Dust Storm, Blizzard of '96, etc...
Your script must include the following:
- Video 1: your diagram, Video 2: your event
- Explanation of diagram (explain components OR how it forms)
- When the event happened
- Where it happened
- What was the damage/casualties? Remember, casualties can be property damage, injuries, and/or deaths.
- Precautions... How to prepare next time? What to watch out for now? (You could mention power-lines, evacuation, where to go to stay safe, home modifications like bunkers, roofing, etc...)
-Make sure to think about volume, clarity, and personality during your video presentation.
