Without Warning! Wildfire Comic Book

Positives

• 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.
