What Should We Do When Natural Disaster Happen?

 Hortatory Exposition Text
Mind Mapping
Group Discussion 

Today, you will work in groups to make a mind map about a natural disaster. Each group will receive one sheet of paper and two markers. First, write the name of the disaster in the middle of the paper and draw a circle or cloud around it. From the center, draw several branches to show your ideas, such as causes, effects or problems, and solutions or recommendations. Use keywords only, not long sentences, and make sure the writing is big and clear.

While working, everyone in the group must participate and share ideas. Use the markers to make your mind map neat and easy to understand. In the recommendations part, you must use the words should or must to give advice or rules. After you finish, your group will present the mind map in front of the class and explain your ideas briefly. Please work cooperatively and manage your time well. After you finish making the mind map, share your ideas in front of the class.
