Read together
Once upon a time, there was a small island called "Shakyland" where everything was always moving and shaking. One day, a huge tsunami hit the island and caused a landslide. The next day, a volcano erupted and the magma flowed down the mountain. An earthquake struck, and the fault line opened up even wider. The seismograph was going wild, registering a 9.0 on the Richter scale. All of a sudden, a huge mudslide came crashing down, burying the whole island. The end.
Talk about it
Reflection
- What natural disasters happened in the story?
- Why do you think the island was called "Shakyland"?
- Why did the seismograph measure a 9.0 on the Richter scale?
- How did the mudslide affect the island?
- Can you think of any real-life examples of natural disasters like the ones in the story?
