Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Discuss with pupils the role of aid agencies when disaster strikes. Ask them to investigate the role played by such agencies in a recent earthquake disaster,
eg Colombia, January 1999. Widen this to include the part played by MEDCs in such work, using a teacher-prepared internet enquiry,
eg Which aid agencies provided support for the emergency? What types of aid were provided? How successful was the work of the aid agencies and why? How do different organisations raise funds. These websites may be useful:
|
|
identify how people's lives and environment in one place are affected by actions in another
describe what aid agencies do in response to earthquake disasters in different parts of the world
explain how places are interdependent in the global community (global citizenship)
|
|
Points to note |
- Extension: higher-attaining pupils may be encouraged to identify their own questions and lines of enquiry.
- Citizenship: this activity provides pupils with the opportunity to reflect on the world as a global community and the political, economic, environmental and social implications of this.
