Devastating Weather

Model Project

Phase 1: Student PlanningTop Left Quadrant• Step 1 Brainstorm weather events that you

group feels are devastating. • Step 2: Categorize and label, if needed.

• Step 3:What three events, of the events brainstormed, does your team feel are the most devastating?

• (Recorder circles top three events.)

Phase 1: Student PlanningTop Right Quadrant

• Step 4 In the top right quadrant write a definition of devastating weather – based on your reasoning for choosing the three most devastating events..

• (Recorder writes definition in top right quadrant.)

Phase 1: Student Planning

Bottom Left Quadrant

• Step 5:Based on your definition determine three questions that you would address to determine which event of the three chosen would be the most devastating.

• (Recorder writes questions in bottom left quadrant.)

• Ex: How many lives would be lost? (This question would be researched for each of the three events selected as “most devastating.”)

Phase 1: Student Planning

Bottom Right Quadrant

• Step 6: Hypothesize which of the three events will be the most devastating and record the answer in the bottom right quadrant.

Teacher hat Reflection:

•Phase 1 - “Plan”

•What was the purpose of the process?

•Why was chart paper used instead of a software application?

•do you think your team should receive all 8 points on the rubric for the planning process?

Roles and Responsibilities: Review or suggest how roles can be determined.Guidelines and Criteria:

File Management:Storing Data and Multimedia = Make sure they have a place to store their information. Discuss folder organization and naming conventions. For this project, again, the structure will be simple.

13

Research:Determining Valid Websites – Discuss who and when might this be done with their students. (Note: You might want to have a folder set up in ikeepbookmarks to model using a bookmark website.)

Content and capture guidelines: Understand fair use copyright guidelines

Citing Sources – Explain how to site sources for the text and images they will be gathering.

Phase 3: Build

Create a presentation to explain your viewpoint on the one devastating event you chose. The goal is to persuade the audience.

15

• Roles and Responsibilities:• Roles might change for this part or you

could keep the same role you did in research and be responsible for that portion of the presentation. They need to determine who will be responsible for what component of presentation development.

• One person will not do the presentation.
