What would it be like experience an Earthquake?

Imagine you are at school when an earthquake strikes. What would you do? What could we do to portect ourselves?

Task:

Write a diary entry describing the day the earthquake struck?

  • What were you doing before the earthquake struck?

  • What did you see, hear, experience during the earthquake?

  • After the earthquake, what was the damage? What were people doing? How did you feel?

Use a mind map to plan your diary. Think of as many verbs and adjectives as you can that could be used to describe an earthquake?

This excellent E-book has lots of vocabulary to help you produce your diary entry.
