1. Finish all of the other tasks from the week (Booklet, Warning system poster, Chart on effects of disasters and ways to make them better) Scroll down if you need to see the SC and instructions.
2. Natural Disaster Flash Cards
You are going to make a flash card about each type of disaster. Use 2 blank white pieces of paper divided into 4 sections to make them. Each person can make 4 of the cards or one page each.
Use the videos on this link to help you.
The following things are the SC for the cards.
- Name of disaster on the back of each card (Tornado, Volcano, Tsunami, Earthquake, Landslide, Hurricane, Drought, Floods)
- Colored picture that represents the disaster on the front
- Written description of what the disaster is on the front
3. Disaster Plan:
Pretend you have been hired by the area that you just finished researching to create a disaster plan. The plan should have a detailed step by step written description of what the people of the area should do before, during and after a future disaster.
First answer the following questions. Write the answers in paragraph form on a lined piece of paper.
- What should the people do once they receive a warning?
- What should they do during the actual disaster to survive?
- Where should they go after the disaster?
- What is the plan to feed everyone?
- Who should be called in to help?
- What should they do to clean up and rebuild?
Next make a poster that highlights what people should do during and after the plan. Make sure it explains both with words and detailed drawings. One drawing of what to do during (Map or instructions) One Drawing of what to do right after (Where can they go to find food and shelter? How do they help others?)
4. Plan for Rebuilding After the Disaster
Focus on the same disaster that you completed research on. The last step is to make a plan for what people should do to rebuild. You need to come up with 4 things they should build that can minimize the damage next time there is a disaster. You will be thinking of buildings and other structures that can be made that will help. Make a poster that shows us what these things are and how they work. The poster should:
- Be divided into 4 sections
- Each section should have a drawing of the new building or structure
- Explain what the structure is
- How will this structure help minimize damage in the future
