The 2005 Kashmir Earthquake (ICT Lesson)

Resource: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/south_asia/2005/south_asia_quake/default.stm

·         Students to work in pairs.

·         Students use the linked page above as a starting point to investigate the Kashmir quake.

·         They should construct a PowerPoint or word document report to summarise the causes, effects of, and the responses to the quake.

·         They should try to use video and audio inserted into the presentation or linked to from the word doc.

·         They should try to include some original content or ‘angle’ that others may not use.

·         Students will have Thursday p5 and Friday p1 to complete the work and at that point it should be emailed to me and each student in the pair should have a copy electronically – there is no need to print out!!
