Tsunamis Consider:  Facts : Who, what, where, how, why and when of the events; the more descriptive the facts, the more useful they are; numbers are better than words.  Peer-review : Project should be reviewed by another group  Analysis : What did you learn from these facts? What data are missing? What data are reliable? What data are subject to change?  Organization, clarity, and style : Make sure that the presentation has a logical organization; one suggestion is to use headings  References : Include the sources of information (web sites, books, articles, etc.) you used
