This series of lessons introduces students to informational texts and how to use these texts to find information about natural disasters to write a report. Students will then work on consolidating information and report writing.
This resource includes both a printable and digital option. The perfect way to incorporate technology standards or use with distance learning. The digital project is a Google Slides that is ready to assign using a share link or Google Classroom. Teacher sharing instructions are included.

The culmination of the series of lessons is for the students to act as reporters for the 'National Geographic Magazine.' With this in mind, the students are required to design a section about a chosen natural disaster to be included in a magazine. Their sections need to include: a cover page, title page, contents page, bibliography, report and a choice of either pictures, labeled diagram, map or eyewitness account.
