Imagine this? As students walk into the room, I have a thunderstorm CD playing in the background. I ask the students to come into the room quietly and listen to the sounds. After taking attendance, students share what they heard: "thunder," "rain," "birds." I then tell them to watch the screen, where they see an online streaming video of a tornado. Students then share what they thought the event was called: "earthquake," "thunderstorm," "tornado." It was interesting to me that only some students knew what a tornado looked like. Inside I was really glad I decided to teach this lesson.
