mountain
Mountain climber going up the slope
Exchange learners in a local family home in the barrio near the river

imaging the impacts of certain phenomena ( the hazards ) on a specific settings. Then, assign
each group a certain setting ( based on the list above ) in the same locality that they must
commit to for each hazard.
There should be one reporter, who will explain what the group is representing
The rest of the group, actors, will take on roles, whether of living or non living things, But
there should always be at least one human in every situation,
No member is needed to represent the hazards\the actors must represent what is happening
to the living and non living things caught in the given situation. The assumption is that they are
unable to avoid the situation
The grade will be based on the accuracy of the depiction of possible impacts . not on the
acting.
Each group should submit the list of roles to the teacher. This will be used as a guide for
grading
Assign the learners to one of the letters assigned above.
