Tracking Hurricane News

Here is a unique twist for your activity on hurricanes. After examining extreme weather news headlines, your storm chasers view a PowerPoint about hurricanes and then zoom in on Hurricane Irene. They map a timeline of her trek up the East Coast and then use a guide sheet to take notes from some of the weather articles. Everything you need to teach a comprehensive activity on the destruction caused by hurricanes is provided, including background about how these super storms brew in the Atlantic.
