Parent Guide > Birds that Flock to Fire
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Birds that Flock to Fire" by Sneed Collard III.
In "Birds That Flock to Fires," Sneed Collard III explains why some animals thrive in the aftermath of wildfires.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fear & Paranoia, Human vs. Nature, and Technology, Progress & Industry as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How does fear drive action?", "How do we view nature?", "Who's in control: humanity or nature?", and "What should the future look like?"
