Year 11 will be finishing their final piece of Coping with Floods coursework over the holidays, Ho, Ho, Ho. 
There is a nice photo story on the B.B.C. about British help in rebuilding one area effected by the tsunami, in your focus country Sri Lanka. The village is called Hampton, this would make a nice little mini-study within your storyboard. Why did Sri Lanka need such help? Remember to use development statistics to help explain your thinking.

Your last piece of coursework in this unit is to produce a storyboard in PowerPoint focusing on a case study of a coastal flood, which effected a L.E.D.C. country. You need to research the 2004 Asian Tsunami and its impact on Sri Lanka. Adam asked me whether I will put together a support page, I will attempt to do this when my head stops spinning over the coming days. There is a wealth of good material on the event on the net, especially photographs, so I expect to see some well annotated diagrams and images, please remember to keep a bibliography.
Remember in this piece you will need to explain the causes, impacts and responses to the flooding, but you will also need to explain why Sri Lanka ,as a L.E.D.C. country,would take longer to recover. A good way of doing this is through development indicators.
