This PDF resource includes an article about the Amazon Fires, as well as accompanying activity ideas:

  • Debate: Should other nations get to decide how these fires are dealt with, or should Brazil alone choose?
  • From the perspective of an animal living in the rainforest, write a story about the fires
  • Using the metaphor of the Amazon rainforest being the lungs of the world, write a poem
  • Research how much oxygen the rainforest produces, and how it does it
