Card Sort: Bangladesh Floods

This card sort activity has been designed to help students understand the ‘causes’ and ‘effects’ of the Bangladesh floods as well as well the ‘solutions’ that the government has tried to put in place to help manage them. It is designed to be used along side any main stream textbook or video and focuses mainly on the floods in 2004 and 2007. I have also built in some extension exercises which get student to classify the causes of the floods into ‘climate’, ‘human’ and ‘relief’ factors as well as to try and assess how successful the ‘solutions’ that have been put in place have been between 2004 and 2007.

When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a fully editable Microsoft document which includes a learning objective, instructions, three heading cards labelled ‘Causes’ , ‘Effects’ and ‘Solutions’ as well as thirty four information cards that can be sorted under them. The document is designed so that you can easily add or remove any of the information cards.

This resource makes a great starter or plenary to be completed in pairs or groups. It can be cut up by the students or placed into envelopes for use with several classes or even set as a piece of homework. Alternatively, your students could draw a table with the three headings cards and copy out the information under them.

The aims and objectives are:

Theme: Flooding
Know: What are the causes and effects of the Bangladesh Floods?
Understand: Which causes are linked to climate, human and relief?
Evaluate: Why have the solutions focused on managing the effects of the floods rather than their causes?

WILF - What Am I Looking For?
Identify and describe: The causes and effects of the Bangladesh Floods?
Explain: Which causes are linked to climate, human and relief?
Analyse: Why have the solutions focused on managing the effects of the floods rather than their causes?
