Module 1 Student Example:


“Good afternoon Seattle, this is Michael and Oliva to tell you your afternoon weather forecast. It is 47 °F out with a slight chance of showers. There is a force of 2 on the Beaufort Wind Scale so you should see your weather vanes and smoke moving to the West. There is a slight breeze to your face and leaves wrestling in the trees. It is a great day for boating. There will be miniature wavelets with glassy crests with no breaking waves.” By: 6th grade students from Edison Sailing Center in Fort Myers, FL
