This writing activity provides a series of photographs and movies surrounding the subject of a fire in an apartment house complex and the involvement of fire fighters as they respond to an eight alarm fire. The children are told that they are reporters for the local newspaper. They have to recreate the scene using photographs and clipart and then write an article for the newspaper.

This reading activity introduces students to an old-fashioned skill, breadmaking. Movies and animation combine with the photos and narrative to create a real life experience.

In this sequencing activity, students are challenged to arrange sentences presented in random order from a toolbar to form the correct sequence of steps for making bread.
