Evidence Write a Presentation
PROMPT
In Quaking Earth, Racing Waves, you read about a scientist who predicted an
earthquake based on evidence he had observed. He and other scientists also gave
presentations to people who lived in the danger zone. They told the people why
earthquakes and tsunamis happen and what can be done to prepare.
Imagine that you are a scientist and must write a presentation explaining why
earthquakes and tsunamis happen. Begin with an opening sentence that introduces
your listeners to your topic. Use your understanding of the key information in the text
to focus and support your central ideas. Don’t forget to use some of the Critical
Vocabulary words in your writing.
PLAN
Take notes from the text about what causes earthquakes and tsunamis.
Include important details that support the central ideas.
