A Fire Story (Classroom)

Learners will gain experience in discussing the importance of fire in an ecosystem through storytelling. They will consider the cyclical nature of fire and how it helps keep forests healthy.

The whole group listens to a story about a forest fire and what happens to the ecosystem after the fire. After the reading, learners work individually to draw images from the story to create comic strips or comic books. At the end of the lesson, volunteers can share their comic with the whole group.
