Chapter Two
NEWSPAPER ACTIVITIES
1. In the border, around the drawing at the top of this serial story page, are some words suggesting topics that the story will cover. Over the course of the next few weeks, clip articles/photos from the newspaper that are about those topics. Arrange them into a montage, display, bulletin board or scrapbook. Then discuss with family, friends or classmates what they have in common with the characters or situations in the story and with your own life.
2. Both Kit and Rico found themselves in unfamiliar situations due to the wildfires – one of the forces of nature. Write a poem or story or draw a picture about a time when a force of nature affected your life. Express how you felt as well as what happened. Share it with friends or family.
