| Home > Table of Contents > Module 9 > Rubric 3 > Next | ||
After watching sections of The Greatest Good to gain a better understanding of Smokey Bear, his message, and the reasons behind his message, you will create your own "new character." You are responsible to create a new character for the U.S. Forest Service or other natural resource agency that sends a new Public Relations message about fire. The new character should help explain and promote the importance of fire to forest ecosystems or promote the use of prescribed fire to reduce fuel loads. You should draw or build a model of this character. The picture or model should also contain some type of message or slogan similar to "Only you can prevent forest fires!" The message can be displayed in any creative way you would like; however, in some way it should communicate your basic message about the importance of fire to forest ecosystems or about the use of prescribed fire.
