Apply It! Look up hurricanes in the information resource at your table. Jot down facts to help you develop your topic.

Step 2: Create A Search Plan Identify keywords  Keywords should describe info you are seeking as well as any relationships between the keywords Develop at least 2 concepts or related ideas about your topic

Apply It! Using the search strategy given to you, develop some concepts
