 * Split the 30 kids into 5 groups of 6.
 * The kids will have 6 Stations/Assignments to rotate around.


 * First Station - Read about tornadoes, such as How they form, What causes a tornado, How to prepare for one, etc..
 * Second Station - Draw pictures that relate to the information they read about
 * Third Station - Create a table to replicate the Fujita scale
 * Fourth Station - Write & practice script for Interview & broadcast
 * Fifth Station - Record interview with survivor & broadcast with the video camer. Include the scale, Pictures & anything else done in previous stations.
 * Sixth Station - On the computer upload the video to Movie Maker to edit the final cut. Also, send a copy of the video to my E-mail & upload it to YouTube.


 * I'd have all the kids in the group sit at any station 1-4. I'd give them no more than 10 minutes a station, but I wouldn't have them actually physically get up for them. They can do assigments one through four sitting at their desks as a group.
 * Then once a group is finished, (which could be a different time for every group, depending on how fast they work) I'd have them go to staion five to record the broadcast & interview then have them move onto station six for the final cuts & editing.
