Summary: |
Color photographs and lively text follow a group of special wildfire firefighters called "hotshots" through training to their drop by parachute into wildfire zones. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book could be used in a text set on natural disasters. Students can keep an imaginary journal of a hotshot firefighter. Since there have been so many wild fires in recent years, learners can research details about specific fires or on wildfire ecology for a report using newspapers and web sites like dir.yahoo.com/Science/Earth_Sciences/Meteorology/Weather_Phenomena/Fires/. |
