Environmental Disasters Project

Assignment: Presentation on an Environmental Disaster of Your Choosing.

Your presentation must address the following:

• Where and when did this event occur?
• Were there any measures that should have been taken to prevent this catastrophe?
• What happened during the lead up to the event?
• What were the initial consequences? What were the long term impacts?
• What was done as a result to prevent this kind of disaster from happening again?
• In your opinion, will an event like this happen again or not?
• Please include any additional information you deem to be relevant. 

You should either create a Prezi or a Powerpoint presentation to present your findings to the class. 

In addition you should create a Kahoot! Kahoot instructions can be found HERE!

Good luck!
