HURRICANES
LESSON 8
INVESTIGATION
Task 1: Interview & Annotate
With your parent's permission, interview two people you know about the most dramatic weather incident they have ever experienced. Make a list of questions on the back of a packet page to ask them. Possible questions include subjects such as how old they were, why they remember this particular incident, what were the reaction of people around them, and so on. When you have interviewed both of them, write about the incidents in your packet, comparing and contrasting the experiences. Be sure to write at least one way in which they were similar and one way they were different.
