These types of classroom activities can get students thinking about the issues in their own communities and prepare for real-life events such as natural disasters.  \nIn this week’s Teacher’s Corner, students will learn about natural disasters and disaster prevention.  \n1. Read through all the materials carefully.  \n2. This activity utilizes resources created by the United Nations’ Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) . You can find out more about the UNISDR here.  \n3. During the activity students will play the UNISDR game Stop Disasters! The game requires players to implement safety measures in a community before a disaster strikes. Play the game before class to learn the rules to provide students help as needed.  \n4. The third part of the activity uses the website Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System. Prior to class, view the website to ensure it works on your Internet browser software.  \n5. For larger classes, consider having students work in pairs or small groups. Having students work in pairs or small groups is recommended because it encourages speaking and communication.  \n6. This activity can be used in one class or across several class periods. Decide which approach is best for your classroom goals and objectives.  \n7. This activity uses the computer game Stop Disasters! Playing the game requires an Internet  \nconnection. If computers with Internet are not possible, consider assigning the game as homework prior to doing this activity in class. If only a teacher computer with Internet is accessible, consider playing the game in class. Students can, as a group, make decisions in the game.  \n8. Students may have questions on vocabulary such as hurricane and tsunami. Encourage the students to play the game first to discover the vocabulary in context. After playing the game, check for any vocabulary they may not have understood.  \n9. This activity has disasters as the major theme. When using serious subjects in the classroom, be sensitive to student experiences and their age, and consider if such material is appropriate foryour classroom.  \n* The game Stop Disasters! uses the English word hurricane. However, in English the terms typhoon and cyclone are also used depending on where the storm originates. According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:  \nHurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same weather phenomenon; we just use different names for these storms in different places. In the Atlantic and Northeast  \nPacific, the term “hurricane” is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest  \nPacific is called a “typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. Depending on your location, you may want to use typhoon or cyclone as the in-class vocabulary.  \nPROCEDURES  \nPart 1 – Stop Disasters! Game  \nUsing video games in the classroom requires allowing students time to understand the rules of game. In this part of the activity, students may seem unfocused and appear to click on everything in the game during the first five to ten minutes of playing the game. This is a normal part of learning how a game’s rule structure works, so be sure to plan for this time accordingly. If time is limited, consider having students play the game prior to class so they come to class with an understanding of the game.","cbCaioY5C8SGprTl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioY5C8SGprTl","pdf",348897,"English","# Speaking and Writing Focus\n## Goals and Materials\n## Preparation\n## Procedures\n### Part 1 – Stop Disasters!
