PROMPT

In Hurricanes, you learned about how hurricanes form, the types of damage they can
cause, and ways people can prepare for these storms. Information such as this is vital

for people who live in areas where hurricanes strike.

Imagine that you are a meteorologist for a local TV station, and a Category 2 hurricane
is approaching your area. Use evidence from the text to write a weather report telling
viewers what kind of effects they can expect the Category 2 storm to cause. Then,

explain what viewers should do to stay safe. Be sure to organize the information so
that it’s easy for viewers to understand. Use a scientific word from the text, and be sure
to explain what the word means. Don’t forget to use some of the Critical Vocabulary
words in your writing.

PLAN

Create two columns of notes, one about expected damage and other effects
of the Category 2 hurricane and one about ways to prepare and stay safe.

Base your notes on evidence you read in the text.
