Wakefield Country Day School — Week
of January 30th
At this week’s WCDS Assembly, the seventh grade geography class gave a presentation on their Tsunami project, which included detailed posters and a moving video on the recent tragedy. The video was produced in-house by Mark Sasse, Wakefield’s ESL and geography teacher, with each of the 15 seventh grade students participating.
The project was conceived because the class thought it was important to document what had happened, and to help focus public attention on the plight of so many, now that the media spotlight has shifted to more recent “headlines.” It was pointed out that six weeks have passed since the tsunami hit, but that the after-affects will be felt for months, years, and possibly generations to come. The video addressed the • cause of tsunamis, and zeroed in on the devastation that has touched so many people in far comers of the world, with specific emphasis on those living in Indonesia, Thailand, India, Somalia and Sri Lanka.
