Tips for Planning A Lesson Around Japan's Disasters

[Frank W. Baker]

A New York Times blogger offers resources and lesson plans for teaching students about Friday's 8.9-magnitude earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The author has compiled past New York Times resources on tsunamis and earthquakes, along with links to Internet resources on the topics and information about Japanese history and culture. A separate post has a list of questions that can be used in discussions about the tragedy. See The Learning Network's blog for March 11 and March 14.
