Disasters WebQuest
You are about to embark on a journey about natural disasters that have happened in Australia. Yes, maybe even where you live! A natural disaster can be in the form of tropical cyclones, droughts, bushfires, floods, heatwaves severe storms, storm surges, earthquake or landslide.
Can you think of any natural diasters that have happened where you live? Ask you family and friends if they have ever experienced any natural disasters.
For this WebQuest, you will need to arrange yourselves into groups of four students. You will need to research and report on a natural disaster that has impacted on communities in Australia (eg. Cyclone Tracey, Northern Territory 1974, Ash Wednesday South Australia & Victoria 1983, Newcastle Earthquake, New South Wales 1989, Eyre Peninsula Fires South Australia 2005 etc).
It will be up to your group to decide how you would like to present your information. Some ideas include; digital presentation, a book, a newspaper report, an information brochure, a play, a web page etc.
Be as creative as you like as this will form part of your assessment!
