THE PROCESS-
You and
your partner will need to cover each of the natural disasters once
during these activities. For example, You can cover tornadoes for
the front page, but not for the safety. Use your disasters once
and only once. Page 1: Front news, Big story on your disaster, a actual event.
For the front page of this mini newspaper you will need to be very in depth with this disaster. You will need to look up an event that actually happened.
Some key questions are:
-Where did this disaster happen?
-How was it related to weather?
-How much damage did it do?
-Any fatalities/injuries
-Financial burdens
-Eyewitness interview/reports
These are just a few questions. Try to be creative and use as much information that is needed to tell the story.
