Writer's Notebook Entry #5: If you were a volcanologist entering a live volcano, what kinds of things would you want to know before your descent? What kinds of things do you predict you would need to bring? Think of the danger!!!
Make sure to look at the pictures, read the captions, and look at the diagrams in your story. What are you wondering? Also, add to your previous list if necessary.
