Using Information Center resources (Books, Magazines, Internet sites) students will research hurricanes in order to answer a set of questions. All resources used will need to cited or referenced using in-text citations. Students will receive instruction from Mrs. Hatcher, the school Information Specialist, in the proper MLA style technique for work citation.
