The Fire Triangle
The Fire Triangle
prompts by Topher Byrd of CAL FIRE
Hello, students! On this page you’ll find seven videos about the fire triangle, an important topic for how one can fight fires.
These prompts are at a high level, so you might need to discuss with your classmates and teacher the ideas in them before you start your work.
Your job is to take the information in one (without the greeting Topher provides at the beginning of each) and come up with a video that you think would be interesting to others your age. You might use narrated art, or a screencast with slides, or footage of you and classmates performing the message in some way. It’s up to you!
Work with your teacher to decide which one(s) you will do. The best videos could be seen by tens of thousands of people around and beyond California – we hope you’ll make something amazing!
Keep the project files, and be prepared for feedback on how to improve the videos. We want to help your videos be as strong as they can be. Once finished, check with your teacher on how to submit them as part of the Next Vista Wildfire project.
