This comic book is relatable for students and provides a great overview of what it might be like to be caught up in a wildfire.
Students will enjoy the comic style of the writing and the images included in the book.
Additional Prerequisites
Students should be comfortable reading graphic novels or comics. If this is a new genre, be sure to go over how to read each cell on a page.
Differentiation
Cross-curricular connections can be made in health classes that are considering how wildfires impact human health, or in social studies classes that are learning about governmental responses to wildfires.
This resource would make a great read-aloud for a whole-class activity. It would also be an impactful resource in a text-set about wildfires, made available to students learning about forests and wildfires.
After reading, have students create comic-style posters about wildfire prevention. There are several online tools available to create comics, which would be well suited to this resource.
Use this as a hook for lessons about wildfire ecology, natural fires, and the main causes of wildfires today.
