This lesson serves as the summative period for the unit. The Project (4a-4c) requires students to apply the Past Continuous Tense and sequence markers in a collaborative "Chain Story" about wildfires or snowstorms. The Reading Plus section introduces the high-stakes profession of "Storm Chasing," shifting from personal experiences to scientific exploration and the tragic but heroic story of Tim Samaras.
