A natural disaster is a consequence when a natural hazard (e.g., volcanic eruption or earthquake) affects humans. Human vulnerability, caused by the lack of appropriate emergency management, leads to financial, environmental, or human impact. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster: their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability".

Today we focused on Natural Disasters. Students were given the choice of working with a partner and investigate one natural disaster in detail. The choices the students had were: Earthquake, Volcano. Hurricane, Tsunami, or Tornado. Students were given the criteria for the research project and given this class as well as the next two classes in the computer lab to finish this project.

Block G   Socials 9

Today we discussed the trial of the King. Students took notes off the Powerpoint on what happened during his trial. Lastly we spent most of the class working on a cartoon timeline related to the events leading up the death of the King.
It is due next class.
