I also have to comment on the pitiful quality of these power points. Again, yes, they were just sixth graders. But the number of horribly worded sentences was astounding. We got stuff like:
Their was three aftershocks that many people lost died. and broken briges. Liquification* happened to many places.
* it should be spelled and pronounced liquifaction.
Actually, I am totally failing in my attempt to recreate the (all too many) moments. It was obvious that they never even once reread their work to make corrections. Numbers were incorrectly said, ie, 23 million for 23,000. One girl talked about the Loma Prieta earthquake and never once mentioned the urban area of the Bay Area. Oyveh!
