China and Burma


Hello Class:

Big Earthquake in China and Massive Cyclone in Burma.

Congratulations to those of you who have been reading up on these tragedies.

Yahoo has an interesting photo slide show on the China earthquake.

Also, PBS has a really good website for students following the news. There's a China video on the right. And a story on Burma down the main column.

Let me know what you think.
