In this jigsaw activity, students are placed in groups. Each group reads a different written record of an indigenous oral history about tsunamis. These indigenous stories are from around the world. To guide their interpretations, students answer activity questions. They study how the tsunami is described (tsunami characteristics) and any safety information that is described in the story. Then the groups are mixed, with at least one representative of each story in each new group. Students share what they learned from each story. Groups compare stories. They discuss: Are there any similarities in the warning signs, descriptions of the tsunami waves, or damage and did the traditional stories contain any safety information? Students will learn the importance of preserving and utilizing traditional knowledge.
This activity leads into future instruction on tsunami science and safety. Lessons from the stories that students read can later be integrated into lessons on modern scientific understanding of tsunamis (causes and characteristics) and tsunami safety (natural warning signs).
Instructors can also tie this lesson into hazard management. Students learn that disaster management personnel are using traditional knowledge to improve local hazard preparations.
