Presentation transcript:

The Nepal Earthquake When did it happen? Where has it happened? Who has it affected? Why has it happened? What has happened?

KWL What I KNOW about the Nepal earthquake What I WOULD LIKE to know about the Nepal earthquake What I have LEARNT about the Nepal earthquake Complete the first two columns of your KWL grid.

What are the causes, effects and responses of the Nepal Earthquake? By the end of the geography lesson: Must be able to describe 3 facts and figures about the effects of the earthquake. Should be able to draw a simple diagram to show the cause of the earthquake. Could be able to explain the long term effects and why the recovery process is slow. You You also need to be an active participant and use a range of sources to solve the enquiry problem.

What is an earthquake? A sudden and violent movement in the earth’s crust

Before and After

Where did the earthquake hit?

What caused the earthquake and why was it so deadly? What Caused the Nepal Earthquake?

The Enquiry A B C D Get into a group of 4 (Original Group) and choose a letter (A, B, C or D) Go to the table with people with the same letter as you (e.g. all ‘A’s get together - this is Your Task Group). Look carefully as a Task Group at the questions for your associated letter on the worksheet that you have been given. Find the Enquiry Section on the “Nepal-earthquake” Blog for your associated letter. The web address is: http://nepal-earthquake.moonfruit.com/ Use the resources on the blog to complete your section of the worksheet. Work together in your Task Group to help each other – you have only 15 minutes. Return to your Original Group of 4 and share your findings. Complete the empty sections on your worksheet.
