Forces of Nature
As we learn begin to learn about East Asia, our first region (locations at that something in common) is grouped by the intense affect forces of nature (human-environmental interactions) have of on the people of these regions. These forces of nature will include volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis. We will use several primary and secondary resources to help us gain a better understanding of the true impact of these natural disasters. Then, we will create our own narrative experiences using the information we gather from these texts and videos to demonstrate our understanding of these ideas.
Below are resources we will use to help us!
