Extreme Weather 8 : Place Knowledge : New Orleans & Hurricane Katrina (KS3)

This is a full 1 hour lesson that investigates place knowledge of New Orleans in terms of its human and physical geography with KS3 students. The lesson is part of a unit on Extreme Weather and part of a unit bundle and a two part bundle on Hurricane Katrina, though it could easily be adapted to other place based examples or a general lesson on weather.

Learning Outcome 1 - 'I understand New Orleans wider physical and human geography and how this impacted on the city during and after Hurricane Katrina.'

In the lesson we look at:

- New Orleans location.
- Its human and physical geography.
- How inequality exacerbated the effects of 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!
