7 Most Extreme Disasters
This terms theme was Change and Crisis. We studied this theme through the topic "Facing Disaster." The students chose a disaster to research, they then produced a newspaper article about their chosen disaster. The class then chose 7 disasters to produce a documentary style video. This video was written, produced and edited by Room 8 students. I am sure you will agree that they did a fabulous job and that we have New Zealand's future TV stars and producers right here at Waimea Intermediate.
