//Description:// 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.
 * Visual Ranking Task**

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. none //Optional:// a note about this edit for the page history log

//Title:// Finding Paradise //Description:// Most people have chosen the region in which they live for several reasons. These reasons might include economic conditions, recreational activities, cultural attractions, the geography and the weather in a region. As adults, you will each have the opportunity to choose where you live. Using the Showing Evidence tool, you will have the chance to provide evidence to help in making an informed decision on this very important issue. You and your group will be examining regional weather conditions and trends. You must then make a claim as to what you feel is the "perfect" United States region to live in based only on its weather. Remember to consider conditions year round. //Question:// What United States region would you call paradise based on its weather conditions?
