 ACTIVITY 1:BLIND ARTIST
Instructions
1. Group into pairs.
2. Decide who will be the drawer and the describer.
3. Sit back to back. The describer must not let the drawer see the photo.
4. The describer must tell the drawer what to draw in order to replicate the picture. But he or
she cannot name objects in the picture. They can only say shapes.
5. After 1 minute, have each pair show the group the original photo and the drawing.

Notes
It is important that the describer knows they can only say colors and shapes. For example,
Instead of saying “Draw a tree”, they can say “Draw a long rectangle. Put a big blob on top
of the rectangle.” Give them several examples if they don’t understand.

word hazard.

EARTH AND SPACE

 HAZARD
A dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity, or
condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health
impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services,
social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.

DISASTER
A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or
a society involving widespread human, material, economic, or
environmental losses and impacts that exceeds the ability of the
affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
What is the difference between hazard and disaster?

classify them in any way that you want but you have to
describe the basis of classification. Write your answer in
your activity notebook.

Now pair up with your seatmate and come up with a final classification
scheme write it on a sheet of paper. You should discuss the differences
and similarities if any, and the basis of your classification with each
other.

Choose one member of your group to share with the class the
classification that you made.

HAZARDS

Guidelines for the activity:

A. There should be one reporter, who will explain what the group is representing
B. 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. For example, they can be all humans,
or one human, and the rest are either animals, plants, or inanimate objects.
C. No member is needed to represent the hazard.
D. The actors must represent what is happening to the living and/or non-living things caught in the
given situation. The assumption is that you are unable to avoid the situation.
E. 3-5 minutes to make a depiction.
F. The grade will be based on the accuracy of the depiction of possible impacts, not on the acting.

 DID YOU KNOW ?
Moro Gulf Earthquake (1976)
With an 8.1 magnitude and a staggering number of casualties, this Mindanao earthquake is
officially the strongest and deadliest earthquake in Philippine history.

A tsunami, towering as high as 9 meters, emanated from the epicenter 40 km off the shores of
Sultan Kudarat. Because the incident happened in the middle of the night, the inhabitants of
the Moro Gulf coastline were left with little to no time to prepare. In the end, an estimated
8,000 people either perished or went missing, and another 90,000 were left homeless because
of the properties wiped out by the tragedy.
