Before Watching
-
Ask students to describe what they remember about the fireworks
they have seen. When are fireworks usually used? What are the
components of a fireworks display? What kinds of feelings are
generated by watching a fireworks display?
-
To help students understand how fireworks have evolved, have
them do the
History of Fireworks
activity before watching.
After Watching
-
Fireworks involve the use of explosives, yet people choose to
work with these dangerous elements on a daily basis. Would
students like to work in a fireworks factory? Why or why not?
-
Fireworks have been used in celebrations for centuries. What
other ways do cultures choose to celebrate occasions in such an
exalted manner? What are some common themes found in grand
celebrations?
