Essential Question: What might the problem be in a story about ants?
This week we are reading, Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg. It is a fantasy story about the life of a colony of ants and the adventures that 2 ants have and the challenges that these two ants encounter. We will be examining the structure of fictional stories by identifying the characters, setting, problem, events, and solution. Understanding the structure of how fictional stories are written will help children as they read new and more advanced texts.
