Second draft of tsunami page:

This is the tsunami page with a little bit work left to do.

I added a wordsearch to the box on the left-hand page at the bottom, which was empty before. This is so the children can have a little bit of fun whilst still doing work at the same time. Its a good way for the children to take a break from information overload to a quick mind puzzle, yet still be doing the learning at the same time as it is key words used within the puzzle.

I added images from google images: A computerised buoy & an image of devastation.

The box on the bottom right-hand side of the page is going to be for 'quick-fire questions'. These as just a few little tester questions for the children. The questions will be based on the information the have read previously about the natural disaster.

Krabi Province was badly hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004. A year later, signs of the damage are now hard to find in many places, but in the worst hit areas (especially Ko Phi Phi and Khao Lak) reconstruction is still ongoing. (http://mooyo-inthai.blogspot.com/2008/05/krabi.html)
