Aid lesson 2: Disaster relief



Aims of the lesson:
To find out about a number of case studies about
aid being given in the world.
To find out what kind of aid needs to be given at
different times.
Method: Jigsaw learning



You are going to be put in groups and be given a
case study of aid to learn about.
You must learn as much as you can in a short space
of time. You must become “an expert” on the case
study.
You will then be put into groups with people that
have knowledge of other case studies and you will
share your case study with them.
Writing frame.



To help you out look at some of the headings you may wish to
learn about:
Where did the disaster happen?
When did the disaster happen?
What was the cause of the disaster?
Did scientists predict the disaster?
Was there any preparation for the disaster?
What were the effects of the disaster?
(deaths, damage)
What sort of aid do you think would have been
given?
Next step


Now that you have learnt about your case study
you must share this information with people from the
other groups.
(new groups should be made now)
Share your knowledge.


Each take a turn telling the other members of your
group about your case study.
See if they agree what kind of aid should be given.
Final question

has been hit by a disaster?
 Give examples and use case studies.
