How I/my students used the resource: Used this as a stepping stone to discuss accountability of law makers in natural disasters and talked about how Katrina victims still do not have homes
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Provides additional content
Strengths: allos students to comment on responsibility of law makers during natural disasters....Katrina is so fresh in their minds it gives them a forum to discuss accountability
