needs to be done in the kitchen to practice good fire safety. You will complete a worksheet that I will

provide. The worksheet will be a picture of a kitchen showing good and bad habits in the

kitchen. You will identify what needs to be done differently in the kitchen or what is an example of good fire safety in the kitchen. After you complete

the worksheet, you will create a brochure with examples of good kitchen fire safety. You will get your information from your notes that you took on

the websites, videos, and our class discussion.
