Chapter 11: Dealing with Extreme Weather: Hurricanes in the Caribbean Essential Question: What causes extreme weather, and how do people deal with it? Overview In this lesson, students learn about hurricanes as an example of extreme weather and how people in the Caribbean deal with this physical phenomenon. In a Visual Discovery activity, students analyze five images that represent key stages in the life of a hurricane: birth, strengthening, tracking, landfall, and aftermath. Students “step into” selected images, using information from their books to bring the images to life. They apply what they have learned by creating a government agency brochure to help citizens plan for and deal with hurricanes in the Caribbean. Objectives Students will • describe the weather conditions that cause a hurricane to form and strengthen. • identify ways in which people deal with hurricanes in the Caribbean. • analyze the relationship between an El Niño and extreme weather around the world. Language Objectives: 1. Vocabulary/Geoterms: Students will define and explain the importance of these key geographic terms: El Niño, extreme weather, meteorology, natural disaster, tropical cyclone. 2. Speaking and Structured Note Taking: Students will use the chapter Geoterms orally and in writing while analyzing and discussing What causes extreme weather, and how do people deal with it?
