describing weather
- Purpose
- Describe a weather event as a dynamic system over time.
- Description
- In stories about the natural world, weather is often an important source of drama. One of the central dramatic moments in Storm Boy is the arrival of a great storm. This passage takes the same zoomed-out perspective we've seen in other lessons, describing the storm as it grows over time and how it impacts on Storm Boy.
