Im doing a project on hurricane katrina PLEASE HELP its due tomorrow PLEASE HELP THANK U PLEEAAASEEE?

okay so im doing a project on hurricane katrina. heres some info::



i have to make a memorial about hurricane katrina. at first i was going to make a clay model of a hurricane, but my teacher said i couldnt do that. because the key point is:: "if u lost someone in that hurricane, what would u want to see in the memorial for it?" im really stuck. i have symbols like a swirl as the hurricane, and like 18 flowers. and each flower symbolizes 100 ppl who were lost. cause there was about 1800 ppl lost.

but i was thinking that there could be 6 diff colors of flowers. because 6 different states were affected by the hurricane. but actually 7, but only one death in kentucky. should i still count kentucky?



also i have a REALLY bad partner who i kno wont work as much. so im probably going to do most of the work. i have to do a 2d sketch of our memorial model, so its just a sketch. but its due tomorrow, but do u think i can switch partners? or am i stuck with this person?

I think you are definitely stuck with your partner. The instructor will know who did the most work by the answering of their inquiries about the various aspects of the project.

Yes, count Kentucky. The different flowers is a good idea and may I suggest using the respective state flowers to show how many from each state were lost. Eight flowers total would be good. The "swirl" you are talking about, another suggestion, use the weather symbol for a hurricane.

A good memorial would be the details about when it formed, when it hit landfall, where it hit, and the dates that it entered the different states. If you are really adventurous, there may be an "official" list of all those that were killed out there on the Internet somewhere. You may want to list those on the "memorial" along with the state that they were from.



Good luck,
Reply:Okay, for starters, let me point out, because I am a Katrina evacuee that Hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast, not New Orleans. New Orleans received damage because the levees didn't withstand. They were on the WEST side of the storm, which is not as bad as the eye wall or the eastern side of the storm. The storm's eye entered Hancock County, MS, in the early morning hours of August 29, 2005. I am not belittling the damage in New Orleans, but I know that it was the center of the media's attention because it is a popular tourist attraction. They kinda forgot about the Mississippi Gulf Coast, though.



I like the ideas about the flowers, pretty cool idea, but I think you really need to look at what the culture is like in the areas effected by Katrina--that's where all the seafood comes from! Maybe you might consider doing crawfish or shrimp as part of the memorial.



I think the best way to get creative about the memorial is to look at some of the damage first-hand and hear the voices of victims as well. Look up some information...here are some websites you might want to consider looking at to be impacted enough to know what you could do to get some ideas of the best way to create a memorial:

Reply:Sometimes teachers grade you on how well you work with a partner, so stick with it. Even if you have to do all of the work, explain that to your teacher after your presentation. It's too late to switch if your project is due tomorrow.



Have you seen the movie "Hurricane on the Bayou?" It's about Katrina and how it happened and why.

Wikipedia has a short writeup of the hurricane:

If I were wanting to see a memorial about Katrina, I might want to remember the area as it used to look. For example, (and I know it affected way more areas, but New Orleans was all over the news forever) New Orleans still does not look the same- people are living in trailors and homes are sitting rotted. And what's going on with the wildlife there? I might want to see a model of a tree, or a boat or something serene, but from the area- then add some details like the flowers, or the date it happened, or a nice quote.
Reply:Okay, first calm down. Second, consider what the affected areas were like before the hurricane hit.



Good icons would be seafood like shrimp and crawfish (think a lobster, only 10 times smaller), Mardi Gras beads and masks, certain landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral in New Orleans and Beauvoir in Biloxi, MS.



If you need any help on this or any other Katrina project, feel free to ask. I lived through it.
Reply:Try "performance art".



All you need is 2 bags of garbage, 10 g-strings, 20 gallons of water, and a leaf blower.



You might want to give your "presentation" out in the parking lot. Then run inside your school and loot a TV or something. Tell your teacher that the mess must not be cleaned up for at least a year and a half for the sake of accuracy...
