Hurricane Project Rubric Grade Sheet
You must choose a named hurricane that made landfall on the United States of America.
It must be from 2000-2014. Research your named hurricane to find the information on
the checklist below. After finding the information, you are to write no more than a one or
two paragraph report on the named hurricane. YES, your grammar does count (make
sure you have it proof read). We will have computer lab time so that you may visit
websites to do your research and or type your report. Your report must be submitted via
google docs. This project is due Friday November 13, 2015. You will also need to turn
