Visual+Ranking+Task

Students will be discussing various practices they feel would be necessary if a severe weather system was predicted. All ideas will be listed, and narrowed down to 7-8 if needed. Students will then work in groups of 2-3 to determine which practices would be most beneficial in preparation for the weather. They will give justification for their ranking.

As a variation, students could be told to revisit their lists and consider whether they need to make revisions based on a different type of impending weather system. It would be interesting for groups to compare both of their lists to see the correlation. They could also hypothesize about the type of weather system another group's ranked.
