Cyclone NargisContextual informationThis sample of accomplished geography teaching is taken from the beginning of a lesson in which the students are studying rivers. Students had been away on camp over the previous week. Whilst they were away Cyclone Nargis hit Burma. It is their first Geography lesson after the cyclone devastated Southern Burma on 2 May 2008. This teacher in a medium sized non-government coeducational school in non-metropolitan Victoria is conducting a discussion about the disaster with her year 8 class before returning to their lesson on river landforms and processes of erosion, transportation and deposition.
