Rationalae
For my presentation on a tectonic plate’s disaster I chose the Sendai Japanese Earthquake as my main focus. In my presentation on the Sendai Japanese earthquake I aimed for a year 9 audience. I I chose to present using a website because of my target audience are a year 9 audience. Many year 9 students at this age use the internet a lot as recreation and a learning tool so I felt that this would be the most effective way of capturing my target audience’s attention. I took interest in this specific disaster because of my Japanese exchange student who survived this earthquake. The reason for my interest in this disaster greatly motivated me to teach others on this topic. My purpose in making this website was to educate other students on this topic because many people died and suffered from this disaster and by learning from this event people can pay respect for the dead and learn what to do in disasters like this. One of the goals I had in creating this presentation was to show respect for those who died in this disaster. This disaster is still relevant and painful to many in Japan and learning more about this will help people understand the pain these people had to go through. One of the other goals I aimed for was that students who read this would be better informed on tectonic plates, especially on the sub topic of subduction. This subtopic on subduction is very relevant to everyone seeing on how wide the damage was from this earthquake and how it is very likely to happen again.
