This activity asks students to use two internet tools to look at global circulation features such as midlatitude cyclones, the ITCZ, and subtropical highs. In my class they created a PowerPoint file full of their images and annotations and submitted it. The internet tools are free and are the same ones that I have used in Lectures 9 + 10. If you don’t have PowerPoint you could use Google Docs or something similar:
