7. Short and long term aid.  Short term aid:  This is help with things that people need right away. Basic things people would need to survive right after a disaster.  Long term aid:  This is help for a country over a long period of time. It will help rebuild the country after the destruction.

8. Task: Aid pictures.  You are going to need two columns.  One for short term aid.  One for long term aid.  You will see a number of pictures. We will discuss what each one represents then what column it should go in.

23. Aid lesson 2: Disaster relief  Aims of the lesson:  To find out about a number of case studies about aid being given in the world.  To find out what kind of aid needs to be given at different times.

24. Method: Jigsaw learning  You are going to be put in groups and be given a case study of aid to learn about.  You must learn as much as you can in a short space of time. You must become “an expert” on the case study.  You will then be put into groups with people that have knowledge of other case studies and you will share your case study with them.

25. Writing frame.  To help you out look at some of the headings you may wish to learn about:  Where did the disaster happen?  When did the disaster happen?  What was the cause of the disaster?  Did scientists predict the disaster?  Was there any preparation for the disaster?  What were the effects of the disaster? (deaths, damage)  What sort of aid do you think would have been given?

26. Next step  Now that you have learnt about your case study you must share this information with people from the other groups.  (new groups should be made now)

27. Share your knowledge.  Each take a turn telling the other members of your group about your case study.  See if they agree what kind of aid should be given.

28. Final question  How can aid help in a country that has been hit by a disaster?  Give examples and use case studies.  10 marks
