“Looting” or “Finding”?
New Orleans
You can make slideshows for the New Orleans unit while you’re in Mr. Williams’ class.
You can make a Bookr slideshow about New Orleans in general, Mardis Gras, or Hurricane Katrina. Be sure to use links on Mr. Ferlazzo’s website to find information and put it in your own words on your slideshow.
What Happens If The Levees Break In Sacramento?
Go to Sacramento Flood Maps. Click on the “Rescue” maps for the area you live in (probably either South Sacramento or The Pocket).
The areas in red will flood immediately. People who live in the yellow area will have a little time to escape.
Which color area is your home located in? What would you take with you if you only had a few minutes to escape the flood? Why?
The road in green are the safe ways to leave. Which road would you take?
If members of your family were in different places when the flood began, do you have a place where you would meet?
Watch this animation of Sacramento being flooded.
