The following learning activity is the final assessment in a unit on natural disasters. Students will need to research and understand the impact a cyclone would have on a coastal community, and the precautions that must be taken during the threat of a cyclone. They are to create a Glogster for “Cyclone Awareness”, detailing the following:  · How a cyclone is formed · A cyclone’s impact according to it’s category · Safety preparations for the cyclone season  The Key Learning Areas for this lesson plan include Study of Society and Environment (SOSE), Technology, and Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). GLOGSTER can be embedded in a learning activity for year five students to enhance their knowledge and understanding of cyclones. According to the Ways of Working (Up to year 5 SOSE KLA Essential Learnings, p. 1) students will plan an investigation; collect and organize information; and will communicate the information, using text types selected to match their audience and purpose (QSA, 2007). Creating an online digital poster through Glogster allows students to incorporate text, images, data and videos in a visually appealing format that will keep them engaged and entertained throughout their learning process.
