These questions are designed for use with the "Storm Chaser" case on p. 565 of the text, although they should make sense on their own.

1. What might elementary school children (ages 6-11) think of when you mention a tornado? How might those prior associations affect your description?
2. What do kids this age need to know about tornadoes?
3. What are some things that might traumatize children and so might be better left out of your description?
4. With a partner, write a description of a tornado that is technically accurate but still accessible to and suitable for young children.
