Exploring Water Disasters

P4G recently embarked on an insightful project about water disasters related to our current Global Studies topic: Water as a Limited Resource. Students began by exploring the causes and impacts of significant water issues such as flooding and water pollution - issues that affect communities worldwide. They learned about how these disasters disrupt lives, damage environments, and challenge communities.

The students then dove deeper by researching specific incidents of floods or water pollution. Working in small groups, they chose a real-world disaster to investigate further. Each group crafted a detailed newspaper-style poster highlighting the background, consequences, and responses to their chosen event.

The project culminated in class presentations, where each group shared their findings, and gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of addressing water crises, both locally and globally.

Next, the class will explore other global water issues, such as drought, further examining how these challenges underscore the central concept of water as a limited resource. Students will then draw their own conclusions from their findings as they begin preparations for their group Student Action Plan presentations.
