Disasters Keynote
Today you're going to start your Keynote about the natural disaster you've been studying. Today start writing the onscreen text and the speaker notes for your presentation. Concentrate on your hook (explained below) and explaining how these storms occur. Do not search for images today.
There are a few BrainPOP videos that you can use if your notes come up short: Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Tsunami and Earthquakes.
"What do you mean by a hook?"
A hook is a way to make your report interesting, so it doesn't sound like a report. It also usually makes it more interesting to write because you have a different angle to write about it.
So my suggested hook is you make your presentation for Americans who are moving to an area of the country or the world where there's a higher than normal chance where they could see those types of storms. You'll explain to them how those types of disasters happen, how dangerous they can be and what they can do to keep themselves save.
