*Try to find a local fire department to send these letters to! Maybe even reach out and see if any firefighters would be willing to come in and talk!
Activity Objective
Students will communicate and engage with a real firefighter process and putting out fires and their lifestyle. This activity uses linguistic and interpersonal learning.
Students will be given a letter template provided below (you may also use a blank sheet of paper) and asked to write to a firefighter about their experiences of fight fires.
Students can ask question such as, but not limited to:
What tools or equipment do you use to put out fires?
Do you sleep at the fire station?
What made you want to become a fire fighter?
What do you think is the most interesting part about the history of fire fighting?
After all the students have written their letters, they will put them into envelopes and mail the letters.
