Aesop's Fable: The Ant and the Grasshopper is about hard work and being prepared. Here's a fun unit that will support many uses. You'll be able to support lessons on reading fluency, expository writing, opinion writing, compound words, character traits regarding hard work and play, poetry, diagraming an image, science, group discussions, and more. I've included:
an original readers' theater script based on Aesop's Fable
placards for each role in the script
suggestions for lesson activities
