Mercalli/Devastation Rating (if applicable)
Details about the event (during and after the earthquake)

This page should NOT be a list of the information from above. Rather, you need to choose one of the following ways to convey the information IN YOUR OWN WORDS (or see me for a different format):
GOOGLE SLIDE STORY - Make a Google Slide story about your earthquake. This should not just be listing information, but have a character lead a tour around the area of the earthquake. Each slide should go to the next slide. DO include all of the above info.
INTERACTIVE MAP - Make an interactive map showing the key locations related to your earthquake (epicenter, building locations that were impacted, locations of important details). Be sure and include all of the details listed above as you recount the tragic event. To see how to make an interactive map, check out the info in the lower sections of this page.
VIDEO - Make a video of you narrating the information while showing photos and images. This isn't a video of YOU, but, rather, a video of photos, maps, charts, and drawings that display while you narrate the details. Then embed your video onto this page.
PIXTON COMIC - Make a comic strip that covers the information listed above. Perhaps your character experiences the earthquake and reports on it or walks around giving us a tour with the info.
