Assignment Instructions

Hi all my 6th graders!!

Today's assignment will be on Science, particularly weather. You will be broken up into pairs and assigned a type of storm (e.g., hurricane, earthquake, tornado, or blizzard). You will research this type of storm using Google. Each group has to find the top 2 storms of their assigned storm in the world, collect 5-10 facts about that individual storm and look for a picture from that storm using Google Images. Students will then create a blog with a summary of their findings. Including all the information (facts), pictures, and maps (location of the storms) surrounding their type of Storm. Once completed post the blog.
