Year 12 Mississippi web links

In preparation for the lesson I asked you to research the Mississppi floods. All good geographers have a focus and an aim when conducting research. Use the links below to begin your research. I am expecting at least 1.5 hours worth of research! Remember our discussion about what good note taking looks like.

You should consider the following ideas and questions as a focus:

* The causes.

* The effects.- environmental, social, economic and political.

* The responses (short and long term).

* The implications for the future.

Wikipedia - Hurricane Katrina. - a good general overview with some good external links.

BBC News - New Orleans - Nature's revenge? The article has some nice information, follow the links to the right for good audio/visual material.

BBC News - Timeline of the flooding

Guardian Unlimited - The Day That Music Died - an interesting leftfield look at the floods, scroll to the bottom for lots more links

After Hurricane Katrina - How things have changed? - an interactive photo story - really good for taking you there.

Lots more links.

Year 12 Storm Hydrographs and Drainage Basin Cycle review

So holidays are almost upon us, and whilst I go in search of Orangutans you guys can review this terms work so far. Why not try the BBC Scotland Education website. The questions are especially useful. (With thanks to Little Miss Sunshine for the link - check out her blog).

(It also gives me the excuse to use a photograph I took from a small plane over the Mekong flying between Cambodia and Laos this summer (check out those ox-bow lakes)

Exam time again - How can I use this blog for my revision?

One way to view all the postings that are relevant to you is to click on the ''labels'' button for say ''Year 7''(can you see it below each posting?)

All the Year 7 postings will then appear. You could then use these to revise.
