ENGAGE

Present a map of the world, Asia, and the Philippines. Give students time to
analyze the maps. (lf available, use the tectonic map of the world, regional
geologic setting (Asia) and the active faults and trenches map of the
Philippines.)
Questions:
a. What similarities and differences do you observe on the maps?
b. Identify specific areas that are prone to tsunami.

EXPLORE
Activity:
 Panel Discussion (or Role Playing with research materials made by
students)
 Let students listen to panelists and ask them to prepare questions on
tsunami. Note: Panelists pretend to have experienced a tsunami.
 Topic for Panelist 1: What is a tsunami? Why and when does it occur?
What are the adverse effects of tsunami on lives, properties, and
economy of the country?
 Topic for Panelist 2: What should be done before, during, and after a
tsunami?
 Topic for Panelist 3: What family/school disaster plan can be developed
specific to tsunami? What is being done by the national and local
government in terms of tsunami mitigation and post-tsunami
rehabilitation?

EXPLAIN
Ask students about their insights on the discussion
Check students' understanding of the following:
 What tsunami is and is not.
 How tsunami is generated.
 What should be done before, during, and after a tsunami to save lives
and properties.
 what is the government's role in tsunami mitigation and post-tsunami
rehabilitation?

ELABORATE
 Tsunami occurs naturally and thus, cannot be prevented. Its adverse
effects can only be mitigated and the risks reduced by knowing what to
do before, during, and after a tsunami.
 Prepare a school/family disaster plan specific for a tsunami and be
ready to share knowledge learned with friends and family members.

 What is the description of a tsunami?
 List down safety precautions that must be observed before, during,
and after tsunami.
 What causes tsunami?
