The Grade 7 Social Studies class is preparing for their first mission as journalists! Our journalists are currently researching one of two hurricanes and preparing a newspaper report.
Here is your next mission for our news website.
You will make your way to one of these two locations:
- Channel Port-aux-Basques, Newfoundland (Hurricane Fiona)
- Fort Myers, Florida (Hurricane Ian)
As a journalist, you will write an account that describes the impact and devastation of one of these recent natural disasters. This account will focus on the varying elements of geographic perspective that we have discussed in class.
You will write an informative article (damage, length, affected area, affected population) on this specific hurricane and the path that it took along the way. Use all of the resources that are available to you, such as the Internet, newspapers, and television broadcasts.
