The Task



** Overview **
This task ask the students to research a natural disaster and present thier findings in an entertaining way. They will then collaborate thier work with others through taking notes on each groups presentation. It gives them an understanding of the environment, and encourages a positive human-nature relationship. Students should be encouraged to include personal stories of friends or articles written by survivors - This creates an authentic __learning__ environment.

** Technology Incorporation **
On the resource page, there are many links to different websites and articles that the students can access online. These can be presented on a social networking group (example of Facebook group on resource page) Giving them access to this wiki is also logical.

Presenting their work may be in a variety of ways. This could include PowerPoint, creating a __free__ web page, creating a film and posting it onto YouTube etc. Students are encouraged to be independent in learning how to use these.

If there is access to an interactive whiteboard, students will have a chance to use this too.
