Tornado

by Catherine Chambers

Using the dramatic aspects and effects of weather, this guide to tornadoes develops geographic skills such as vocabulary and using maps, plans and secondary sources of information. Emphasising that weather extremes have the same causes as the weather that we experience every day, it looks at the phenomenon to discuss where and why it occurs and how people cope with it.

I think this is a good book because it tells you what a tornado does. On April 3,1974 148 tornadoes were stuck in 13 states. More than 300 people were killed and over 30,00 buildings were destroyed.

It's a Heinemann non-fic, so it's good. Set up for easy reading, but with good content. Nice font and layout with photos make the book easier to read and go quickly. Each 2-pg spread is an entry in the TOC and has a title heading, helping to focus the reader. Great example for NF text features.

Txt Set Ideas: weather, earth science, human populations.
