Response to Reading
Let’s challenge our thinking a little bit as we read Hey, Little Ant: Think about two Icons of Depth and Complexity: Multiple Perspectives and Ethics.
Monday
The Multiple Perspectives icon reminds readers to notice that there are different ways of looking at a situation. In this case, the boy feels one way, and the ant another. Read it one time pretending to be the kid. How would you feel if you were him? What would you think? What would you say? What would you worry about?
Then, read the book another time pretending to be the ant. How would you feel if you were him? What would you think? What would you say? What would you worry about?
Think about these different ways of seeing the situation as you write down the reasons for each character on the following Multiple Perspectives sheet. You will need this information for this week's writing assignments, which begin on Tuesday.
Optional: Make a Flipgrid to share your thoughts about the story. Does this story remind you of any other story you read where the characters had different perspectives, or ways of thinking about something?

Tuesday
The Ethics icon reminds us to think about the pros and cons of a situation, or the good and the bad. Do you want ants to invade your picnic and steal your food? On the other hand, should people be killing animals because they are pests?
Here is where you get to decide how the story ends: Should the kid squish the ant or let the ant live?
1. Write a one-page ending to the story with a picture. These endings will become part of a First Grade Book using Book Creator. This means we are looking for polished products. Color the picture nicely. Make your writing super clear. Write your first name neatly.
Use the paper provided below. You can download it underneath the Scribd document or click here - "Book Ending to Print." The 2nd sheet is for those who need more room to write. You only have to do the first page.
If you do not have a printer, please draw and write on a plain piece of paper, oriented the same way - landscape.
2. Take a picture of your ending and email it to cme5472@lausd.net or upload it below.
We hope to have as many people participate in making this shared book as possible!
3. Make a Flipgrid of you reading your ending. I plan on using the audio for the book, so don't say your name or anything else. Just read what you wrote. Thank you!
