What educators are saying

Such a great activity to go with the story! Product was so detailed - I was out for 3 days and was able to have writing covered for the substitute for all three days! Thanks so much for the great resource!
I used this resource just for the writing pages. I like the different writing options so I could differentiate for my students. I did not end up using the craft that came with this resource.

Description

To squish the ant... or let it free.. that is the question! ENGAGE students in opinion writing with this FUN Hey, Little Ant writing prompt. Use graphic organizers to help students come up with reasons and supporting details to persuade their reader whether or not to squish the ant.

Hey Little Ant Opinion Writing Prompt, Ant Craft and Spring Bulletin Board Book Recommendation:

This common core aligned project pairs perfectly with the book Hey, Little Ant by Phillip and Hannah Hoose. However, owning this book is by no means necessary for using this resource.

Ideas for Using Hey Little Ant Opinion Writing Prompt, Ant Craft and Spring Bulletin Board:

As a class, students will read aloud Hey, Little Ant and make a T-chart on reasons we should or should not squish ants. Students will then brainstorm, draft, plan, edit and publish a writing piece about 4 different reasons to support their opinion on the topic. Afterwards, students will complete a simple ant craft to add a pop of color and fun to their writing for the perfect spring bulletin board.
