Read and find out the "costs" of bad weather. List specific examples of bad weather from the news and create a comparison chart that shows the ways if effects people, crops, property, the environment, etc. Try to find information about floods, storms and disasters. Compare their "costs" as well. Study weather maps and the symbols used to represent various weather situations. Make a poster-sized key to the weather map and include at least five symbols. Redesign one of the symbols and show it to someone. Did they know what it represented? In the newspaper display ads, find a useful, work saving item. Discuss the job the item does. How was this task completed 10 years ago, 50 years ago? Is the item entirely necessary? Make a chart listing any flaws or weaknesses. How could the item be improved? Make a sketch of the redesigned item and create a newspaper ad telling about its redesign. |
