Demonstrate: How can we categorise the Haiti earthquake in Geography? Causes: This is the reason the event happened in
the first place
Impact: This describes the different effects of
the event
Response: This is how people reacted to the event Future Preparation: This is about what can be done
in future to reduce the impacts
Demonstrate: Categorising the Haiti earthquake Task 1: Colour the sorting cards to show Causes Impacts Responses Ways to prepare for future.
Don’t forget to add a key!
Extension: Are the effects social, environmental or economic impacts? Decide a colour for each and make a key.
Key: Social (anything to do with people) Environment (anything to do with nature) Economic (anything to do with money)
This is your formative assessment in Geography this half term- next lesson you will get a GCSE grade for this task Aim to work independently
REFLECT: In no more than 30 words describe
