Fifth Grade students have been learning about catastrophic events in history. They learned how this event impacted society and why it was defined as catastrophic. Students worked with teammates to come up with a fun and interesting way to share this information with their classmates. This could have been through a newscast, creating a model, using drawings, creating a poster, etc. The presentation needed to include the following information.
