2.+Planning+&+Preparation

// Write a three-paragraph summary explaining what student will be doing for each phase of the project: //
 * Planning **
 * 1) **Knowledge gaining**: Students will gain knowledge of natural disasters using different sources. First, students will watch a short video showing the students different types of natural disasters and the power they have. Next, students will visit an interactive web site which will allow them to learn some basic information and engage with the material. Then, students will use an informational web site to start gathering information based on the group he/she is in. Lastly, students will work in groups to discuss what they have learned.
 * 2) **Knowledge organizing:** Students will work individually and in groups to organize information. First, students will work individually to find the different stages of an assigned natural disaster and post it on the Google Doc. Next, students will work in groups to research and organize the important information they find on their topic. Lastly, students will work individually to organize their thoughts on the learning process they used to complete these activities.
 * 3) **Knowledge sharing:** Students will share their work in a variety of ways. First, students will share the steps that take place in a natural disaster using a Google Doc which will be shared with the rest of the class. Next, groups will share their research findings through the use of a Wiki. Lastly, students will share and comment on other Blog postings.
