This resource focuses on Zomo the Rabbit, a clever character seeking wisdom by navigating the challenges posed by the Sky God. It guides students to analyze Zomo's motivations and actions throughout the story, encouraging them to cite textual evidence to support their explanations. The learning activities include a 'Do What Chart' for writing tasks, prompting students to explain character motivations, provide evidence, and construct complete sentences. There are editing exercises aimed at sentence structure and mechanics, as well as in-depth inquiries into Zomo's strategies to trick other characters and the moral implications of his actions. Additionally, the resource includes discussions and reflective activities that allow students to engage critically with the text and consider alternative narratives based on Zomo's choices.
