Natural Disasters
Description:
Each student becomes an expert on a natural disaster, investigating and discovering how they can prepare for it. Students initially create traditional motivational posters using paper, pencils, markers, and crayons. Then, students create an electronic version to motivate others to prepare for natural disasters. Next, students create storyboards/scripts and digital stories on a natural disaster of their choosing to inform others of ways to prepare for natural disasters. This lesson was created as part of a collaboration between Alabama Technology in Motion and ALEX.

Title:
Preparing for Natural Disasters: Tornado
Description:
The lesson will begin by students performing a think-aloud as they consider the similarities of five words: tornado, shelter, basement, underground, and safe room. Students will use a pros and cons graphic organizer as they read articles on three different types of tornado shelters: underground shelters, part of the house shelters, and prebuilt shelters. The students will find the advantages and disadvantages of each type of structure. At the end of the lesson, the teacher will create a table that lists all the shelters and the pros and cons of each. Students will then determine which shelter they feel is most efficient in an "exit slip" response. This unit was created as part of the ALEX Interdisciplinary Resource Development Summit.
