January+2009+Ice+Storm

I have now created January Storm Wiki where I would like you guys to create your info.
I will be deleting this page soon.
 * PLEASE DISREGARD THIS PAGE AT THIS TIME!!!** GO TO JANUARY STORMS WIKI, YOU HAVE ALL BEEN INVITED TO JOIN AND CREATE YOUR OWN PAGE FROM THERE.

Instructions: Read Carefully!! Due: 2/4/09
I want all my students to get on this page and create a short narrative concerning the ice storm we had that cut out so much power and destroyed so many trees. Here's how it will work: Each student needs to put his/her own narrative on this page. The narrative has to use correct grammar and show style (remember everyone will be able to see your work. I would also like some kind of image on the page that represents the storm. I need each student to play with font and color as well, so that each person's section represents them. This will be worth 15 points. You can gain 5 bonus points if you can link a site that mentions the ice storm. The web site has to be correctly sited in order to get full bonus points. Here is an example:

1. Begin your narrative at the end of page. 2. In order to change just your font and color, please highlight your words after you have typed them. 3. Please, Please DO NOT mess with other student's work.
 * Notes on execution:**

=Bottoms' and the Ice Storm = The snow day began with such promise! I was able to sleep late, wake up to coffee, stitching and snow. Those initial thoughts did not quite come to fruition. I did get to sleep late, but I awoke not to snow, but to rain? Rain that was NOT sticking to the roads, but managed to keep piling ice on the trees. Hmmmmm, some snow day. Ah well, you can't have it all, we would be back in school by tomorrow. My first sign of trouble was my mother calling me during my bath. "We lost all our power this morning at 7:00 a.m." was her call. Uh, oh, my brain began to turn. The rain may not be as benign as I first imagined. My husband and I quickly scrambled to begin charging our electronics, just in case. We managed to get the phone, laptop and both our DS (gameboys) taken care of before noon. I had a warm meal stewing in the crockpot, which was our last warm dinner in our house for the next 3 days. By 4:00 our power was permanently out after much flickering and blinking, and we had heard the first loud CRACK of the branches that would soon be littering our backyard.
