| A Disaster in the Making |
This one-hour lesson from the New York Times helps students in grades 6-12 compare the consequences of natural disasters and their effects on humans involved. They read about and discuss the impact of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco and Hurricane Katrina's impact on New Orleans, then write first-person narratives from the perspective of survivors. (SDFSC Approved Activity E.xv - Emergency intervention services following traumatic crisis events, such as a shooting, major accident, or a drug-related incident that have disrupted the learning environment.)

| Direct Effect |
This one-hour lesson from the New York Times engages students in grades 9-12 in an exploration of the effects of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Students read and discuss an article describing a ruling on lawsuits filed by victims, research awards dispensed and the impact of the attacks on regional economics and the environment, and generate several goals and questions that communities should ask themselves when considering the potential of other attacks.

| Exhibiting Hope |
This two-hour lesson from the New York Times helps students in grades 6-12 understand the way lives as well as property can be destroyed by a natural disaster. During the process they generate questions from footage and articles and search for clues as to whether hope does or does not remain. They track New Orleans' rebuilding progress, and other articles and information can be added to ensure that the lesson is current. Students then write a news article in which they predict what the city will be like in another year. (SDFSC Approved Activity E.xv - Emergency intervention services following traumatic crisis events, such as a shooting, major accident, or a drug-related incident that have disrupted the learning environment.)
