Disaster Studys

On the 2nd day of the term Mrs Fowler came in to teach us for the day. We did some really fun studying about NZ disasters. We brainstormed and talked about lots of disasters like; Tangiwai train crash, Erebus train crash, the pink and white terraces and the Waihine to name a few. We had to decide on one event. We then went online and once we had found at least ten facts, we typed them out on a google doc and printed it. While one person continued writing, the other got a piece of coloured paper. Soon after, you had to draw a picture with a caption at the bottom describing the disaster. Once finished all of that, you lay it out on the big piece of paper and glue it on how you and your buddy would like it.
Finally, you do a nice, big heading that stands out and any other decorations. We spent the whole day doing this and it was a lot of fun. I recommend trying it yourself!

  3. Nice explanation about how we did our disaster posters! I like how you included the steps for making the poster itself as well. Have you used Google Docs when our class hadn't noticed it yet?
