Inquiry questions can come from anywhere. Sometimes pictures get you thinking.

These are some images about disaster relief that caused me to ask some inquiry questions about the response to man-made and natural disasters:

Video: (We’ll answer these questions together as a class):

1) Why is the movie dark?

2) Where is the setting?

3) Why is the person a lady?

4) Who is the audience?

5) What inquiry question could you ask after you watch this movie?

    Picture 1:

    The main picture is about disasters. For some reasons, red represents bad things or warnings for us. The words is related to the picture because Japan and Haiti had a very bad experience of Natural disaster. This picture has so many messages. The one in my mind is Natural Disaster can happen anytime. Why Natural Disasters happened so often?
