You then muct inlcude the following information around your sketch map (HAND WRITTEN):

a) how the cyclone formed
b) a written description of the track of the cyclone
c) facts about the cyclone intensity

d) information on the effects of the cyclone (you could categorise this further into social, economic and environmental)
