Introduce the Book
Give students their books and have them look at the cover illustration and read the title. Talk about the photos and ask students to make predictions based on what they see. Point out the format of the text.
Ask: What kind of text is this? (interview) How is it organized? (questions and answers organized by topic) What are some of the sections in the book? What do you expect to learn from reading this book? 

Set the Purpose
Tell students you want them to read the interview to find out the major causes of wildfires.
