YouReact- Fires of 2003

Hello Class!

This is a new reading rotation called YouReact.  Click the link below.


Watch the news story about the fires of 2003.  These are the same fires that we read about in Fury of Fire in our Storyworks magazine.  Kevin and his family escaped the fire and their house was saved.  Others were not so lucky.  As you watch this video, think about how you would feel if it were your house that burned.  How would you feel if your house was saved, but your neighbor lost his house?  After you watch this video, write a comment with your reaction.  Answer the following questions.

What feelings did you have as you watched the people in this video?
How do you think you would have reacted if your house had burned?
What things could you do to help someone else if you knew they had lost everything in a fire?
Ask one question about the video that other student's could answer after they watch it and read your comment.

If you finish early, draw a picture that shows some of the images you saw in the video.  How can you convey the emotions of the people in the video?
