Tornadoes, blizzards, and hurricanes, oh my! In this instructional activity, meteorology majors compare stories of historical storms written by two or more different sources. As a result, they understand how the media portrays such catastrophes and experience a comparison of various perspectives. Lessons like these are ideal for meeting Common Core standards for literacy in science.
