Authentic research

[Hinchingbrooke School <Duncan.Grey@A4503.CAMCNTY.GOV.UK>]

emergency preparedness booklet is the best
But also try other forms of writing such as
1. Interviews with survivors describing their experiences
2. Diaries of survivors
3. Letters written between those responsible for safety confessing what
they had not prepared for and congratulating each other on what they had
done right
4. Newspaper reports describing the more sensational events, referring back
to previous events elsewhere, to previous warnings given but not heeded and
interviews with survivors
5. Description of shelter with analysis of reasons for the construction....

No reason to stick with just one. And presentation could be in various
forms - wall displays, talks to class, multi-media presentations, facsimile
diaries, fabricated artifacts (papier mache boulders, model landslides
etc). Put several different pieces in folders as a single piece of
substantive work. Great English exercise!
Best wishes
Duncan
