Andrew, Katrina, Irene. Recognize these names? They are all retired hurricane names. Investigating why these storm names were retired is just one activity in a 33-page packet designed to be used in conjunction with a study of The Cay. The cross-curricular exercises and activities are sure to engage readers of Theodore Taylor's award-winning novel and deserve a place in your curriculum library.
