Extreme Weather 5: Hurricanes : Effects - Hurricane Katrina (KS3)

This is a full 1 hour lesson that investigates the effects of Hurricanes/Typhoons with KS3 students. The lesson is part of a unit on Extreme Weather, though it could easily be adapted to other place based examples or a general lesson on weather.

Learning Outcome 1 - 'I understand how a tropical cyclone (hurricane / typhoon) can cause extensive social and economic damage to society.'

In the lesson we look at:

-Recap on causes of hurricanes/typhoons
-The geographical location of New Orleans (atlas work)
-The causes and conditions that led up to Hurricane Katrina
-The immediate and long term effects of the hurricane
-What it was like to be in the hurricane

The lesson is designed to be visually appealing, with 'to the point' content that's easy to pick up and run with at short notice.

Ease of use is my aim for both teacher and student, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes fully referenced handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read.

Please help me out and leave a review if you like my resources, they take a lot of time and effort to produce! :)

Happy teaching!
