Developed by:

Contextual Paragraph for Resource Set:

The San Francisco Earthquake was one of the most important news events of 1906. More than 3,000 people died, 225,000 people were left homeless, and 28,000 building were destroyed. The monetary damage exceeded $400 million dollars (a fortune at the time). Students can use this event to understand historical events through the use of primary and secondary sources of information and gain an understanding of how an earthquake can affect people in many ways. More importantly, students will learn that physical systems often affect human systems. This is especially evident when the impact of natural disasters on humans is observed. It is important for students to be aware of the dangers of environmental hazards such as flash floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Since these disasters often strike with little warning, students who know what to do in the face of such dangers, will be more likely to avoid property damage and, most importantly, personal injury.

Grade 4:Use maps, tables, and charts interpret historical data.

Describe the difference between primary and secondary sources.

Locate information using both primary and secondary sources.

Describe the impact of extreme natural events on human and physical environments.

Use geography concepts and skills (e.g., recognizing patterns, mapping, graphing) to find solutions for local, state or national problems.

Understand processes acting on the earth (erosion, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, forest fires) and evidence of their occurrence.

Grade 7:Formulate questions that can be answered by historical study and research.

Describe the relationship between a primary source document and a secondary source document.

Analyze cause and effect relationships between and among individuals and/or historical events.

Describe two points of view on the same historical event.

Examine the reasons why people emigrated from their homelands to settle in the United States during the late 19th century.

Analyze the impact of industrialization on the United States rural to urban migration.


Describe the consequences of natural hazards (e.g., Dust Bowl hurricanes, droughts, earthquakes).

Describe ways geographic features and conditions influence history.

Relate plate tectonics to the resulting landforms and earthquakes

Use images/video clips of the San Francisco/and or other earthquakes and have students complete a Photo Analysis Worksheet and/or Video Analysis Worksheet on the images.

Share first hand narratives about the earthquake with students. Use the Document Analysis Worksheet.

Create a safety booklet on natural disasters.

Determine trends pertaining to earthquakes in the United States, regions, and/or individual states.

Connect the reason for San Francisco’s population growth and type of population to knowledge of immigration at this time in American History.

  • Discuss with students the nature of the population and population distribution of those living in San Francisco at the time of the San Francisco Earthquake.

  • Examine how the population changes may have contributed to the devastation.

  • Have students imagine they are in San Francisco and the time of the earthquake. Have them write a letter to a relative living in another part of the US from the point of view of a person who survived the earthquake.

  • Students imagine they are news reports sent to interview earthquake survivors of the San Francisco earthquake and write a news report based on their research of the event, cause and effect of the earthquake, incorporate quotes from survivors using primary source documents.

  • Teach or reinforce with students the causes for earthquakes (based on grade level the depth of instruction will change).

  • After students can relate to the destructive force of an earthquake by learning about the San Francisco earthquake, students learn about earthquake preparedness and potential for earthquakes in region of US

  • Familiarize students with safety precautions that should be used in a variety of natural disasters.

  • Students will complete a reading

on environmental hazards and safeguards, take notes, and create a safety booklet..

  • Nature in the News: Post a map of the world and encourage students to read newspapers and newsmagazines for current event articles about natural disasters. Students then post the articles near the map and mark the location of each event with a color-coded map sticker to indicate each type of disaster. Encourage students to look for various regional patterns.

  • Students learn about the causes for earthquakes then use a map of earthquakes in the U.S. to look for trends and draw conclusions.

See individual lessons from Arizona Geographic Alliance lessons.

Assess the letter using 6 Traits Rubric for ideas and content (historical accuracy), voice, and organization (format of letter), and word choice (the event comes to life through the letter).

Assess the news article for incorporation of primary and secondary sources. Use of quotes from survivors. Knowledge of the cause and effect of the earthquake.
