After learning about earthquakes and earthquake resistant structures, have your students write a letter to the 3 Little Pigs, suggesting ways they could build their houses to be earthquake (or wolf) resistant.
The letter could be written from a friend -
a personal letter passing along information that might be helpful
Or from a government official -
a letter outlining city or state requirements for earthquake resistant structures
The letters should include at least 5 suggestions.
Encourage students to get creative in their writing and also in their presentation - written on a piece of stationary or as an email if it's a letter to a friend, written on a piece of "letterhead" if it's from a government official.
