By now you must have heard about the triple catastrophe that hit Japan: earthquake (measured at 9.0 on the Richter scale, it was the biggest to have hit Japan), giant tsunamis, and nuclear crisis. There are, obviously, numerous websites where you can get up-to-date accurate information, but here are some of my favourite from which you can find useful resources to help you prepare a lesson on the disaster, or simply to get the latest news.
The BBC is always a useful place to find news, in-depth analysis, Q&A, etc. You can get live video & text coverage here.
To understand how tsunamis occur, they have an animated explanation from 2004 here.
The New York Times have incredible images here and interactive before & after images here. More before & after images can be seen at ABC News, too. CNN offers high resolution images of the aftermath here.
NPR does a comprehensive study on the Fukushima nuclear reactors crisis here.
To get an idea of the scale of the earthquakes from which Japan has been suffering, take a look at this interactive map.
Rather than inundate you with countless websites, which will only serve to confuse more than educate, I have just recommended these. Spare a thought for all the people in Japan, dead or alive. If you can, help them by clicking on the image below.
