Teacher's Guide

This folder contains all of your materials for StormReady in a Box. Within this folder, there are seven folders: Introductory Materials and Instructions, Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The Introductory Materials and Instructions contains a Welcome Letter to the project, an Activity Breakdown, a Pre-Screen to do with your school’s Emergency Operations Plan, and an Introduction/Ice Breaker Activity to do with your students. The documents in this section are numbered in order in which they should be completed.

Each section contains a document for each element within (although some elements may be on the same document for logistical reasons). The elements are designed to be done in order starting with 1-1 and concluding with 6-7. However, if you feel you do not need to do certain elements with your class; it does not impact the other elements’ activities as each element is largely designed to stand on its own. It is encouraged to do as many activities with your class as possible, even if your school meets the requirements without student input.

Some of the activities are simple discussions led by you, while other activities involve worksheets and handouts. These are provided in folder three. Feel free to modify any of the given worksheets for elements that have a worksheet or to create worksheets for elements that do not have a pre-created worksheet within the StormReady in a Box project​

Not every element consists of a student activity or discussion. Many elements contain tasks that you or your school’s administration must do. Again, it is recommended that you read through all documentation in this folder before beginning the project.
