There are 3 main activities:
Vocabulary:
Introduce the unit by showing the trailer from the “Ant-Man” movie to build their interest. Then introduce the 7 vocabulary words with the real-life photo posters included. You could post these posters around the classroom and have students travel around to match up and define the words in their flip flaps or use them as a center activity. These posters are excellent for a bulletin board display too.
Informational articles all about Ants:
Next, have students read the informational articles and complete the various student activity pages. For centers, use one article at each center and have them complete the related activity page or one flip up booklet page. This way they can build their Ant flip up booklet page by page! You could have students work with a partner or in small groups or independently.
Activities:
Students can use the informational articles to complete the different activities included in this resource. There’s a “draw it” page just for fun! Plus various other pages for them to do in centers or for fast finishers! The flip up pages can be cut out, colored, and glued into their notebooks or as a lap book project or as a stand alone booklet stapled at the very top.
