Weather PBL: Cloudy with a Chance of Animals

We have been studying about the weird Phenomena of Raining Animals.  Our class has been working to find an answer to this question, and I think we have found it.  Now that we are ready to research for our scripts to put on a news show for the school, we need to do some background work ourselves on these "stories". 

Below are some links to sites to help you in the creation of your scripts.  Choose wisely, be creative, and remember to follow your Rubric and Checklist to get the best grade possible on your group assignment.
