Process

It is now time to decide who is doing what: In your group of four you must allocate who is doing what to complete the task. There are four roles to choose from. The fruit machine can help you choose fairly!

= **1. Researcher/ Host** =

- Define and describe a natural disaster.
= **2.Catastrophist/ Reporter** =

- Research international and national occurrences of natural disasters.
(**International** - Around the world **National** - In Australia) = **3. Catastophist/ interviewee** =

- Explanation of the cause and effect of disaster.
= **4. Script Writer/ Director.** =

- Publishes script**.**
( **Creates/ writes** up the script)

**Now that you all have a task to do, lets look into what each team member needs to do in detail:**

**1. Researcher/ Host:**

1. Researcher :
As a researcher you are required to define and explain your groups natural disaster. When you have found a definition and an explanation of your natural disaster you must write a paragraph of your findings in your own words and understandings. You may use some of the suggested resources to help you. Please remember to keep a record of the resources you've used to include in your bibliography.

**2. Host :**

Now that you have finished your research you will be working with the script writer to discuss and publish what you as a host will be saying in the presentation. As a host you are required to introduce yourself, the news company and the topic of your news segment (your natural disaster). You will then further explain your definition that was written previously by you. To help you with the structure of a news host you may like to watch some clips of news presenters on you tube. For example the Task Page clip.

**2.Catastrophist/ Reporter**

2. Reporter
= 1. Catastrophist: = As a catastrophist you are required to research __six__ national and international occurrences of your disaster. You will need to write them in your books:
 * || = Date = || = Where it occurred = || = Death toll = || = Damages to the environment, with examples. = ||
 * = Disaster 1: = ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * = Disaster 2: = ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * = Disaster 3: = ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * = Disaster 4: = ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * = Disaster 5: = ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * = Disaster 6: = ||  ||   ||   ||   ||

* you must include images *
**Once you have completed your search you are required to choose one occurrence to use in your news presentation.** = 2. Reporter: =

Now that you have chosen an occurrence to speak about in your news presentation you will work with the script writer to discuss and write down the information you collected into the script and discuss how you will present it as a group.

**3. Catastrophist/ interviewee**

2. Interviewee
1. Catastrophist:

As a catastophist you are required to research both the cause and effect of your natural disaster. You are to write a 300 word explanation in your own words of both the cause and effect with reference to relevant examples. Here are some useful resources that may help you with your findings.

2. Interviewee:

As an interviewee you will be working with the script writer to publish your findings for the presentation. Your task for the presentation is to read through the script and describe the cause and effects of the disaster that hypothetically happened to you.

**4. Script Writer/ Director.**

As a script writer it is your job to work together with everyone in your group to collect their research and explanations and produce a script for a news report. Keep in mind our lesson on script writing from last week and refer to the news clip on the task page to get an idea about the structure of a news report.


 * 2. Director: **

As a director it is your job to make sure everyone is on task and to prepare the presentation and help your team members with acting out their parts for the presentation.
