Then, they will write an outline covering the facts they want to include in their essay.
Their outline and essay should include specific information.
Students can think about the following questions as examples of what they may want to include in their paper:
What causes a hurricane? Are people aware of hurricanes ahead of time? Can people prepare to evacuate their homes ahead of time? What happens after the hurricane has disappeared?
