Students will listen to the story Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg and use clues from the text to draw conclusions about the events of the story. Students will create a storyboard to represent the events of the story and use their storyboard to construct a program to sequence Two Bad Ants.

This is a review lesson of fiction vs. nonfiction. Before completing this activity, students should have prior knowledge of these genres and be able to identify them according to their characteristics.

Encourage student movement in reviewing or learning phonemes, letter sounds, simple CVC words, sight words, syllables, antonyms, synonyms, homophones

The students are not being efficient when they get materials or move around the classroom, so they are wasting learning time.  Students will design a sequence of steps, or program,  to move the student to their destination without using extra steps.

Students will distinguish between two types of fiction (realistic/fantasy) and nonfiction texts by their attributes. Students will also listen to text snippets and identify whether it is fiction (r/f) or nonfiction.
