In this awesome book, the two bad ants find lots of trouble. VanAllsburg does a fantastic job using metaphor to describe things from the ants’ perspective. Your students will follow VanAllsburg’s craft by writing their own ant adventures.
This unit was just remade (2022). It has 23 printable pages and 23 color pages in Google Slides TM. Plus, the old unit is still available in EASEL. You can pick and choose the pieces of the unit you wish to use, but it is organized in a before, during, after format. I typically work with the book in reading first to work on comprehension skills and to study the author’s craft. After, we apply what’s learned in our writing assignments. Please be sure to download the preview to get a view of each page included.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Susan Hall says, “This is a great mentor text for so many reading strategies and skills. These graphic organizers highlight the best of this text and are engaging for my students to share their thinking.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Spark Creations says, “This text is in our reading basal, but I like these activities better to stretch the content & challenge the kids. Plus, it’s nice for the sake of variety to include a different format of learning activities with the text that is readily available in our basal reader.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Melissa D.says, “We used this product with our read aloud story during a week of summer school. The students were engaged in the activities. Thank you for creating this resource. ”
