JoinTeaching Through Trade Books: The Great Quake of 1906
Natural disasters such as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake serve as reminders of the need for geologic research and investment in disaster preparedness of all types. Although young students may view their world as a rather localized area, natural disasters such as earthquakes are brought into their homes--whether it's through television, internet, or print media. Today's students are more globally aware than their counterparts of yesteryear and teachers can capitalize on this.
