Looking at the Lorax :: Teacher Resources and Classroom Games ... - Free Printable

This is an open-ended creative writing task based on the book *The Lorax* by Dr. Seuss. Since there are no single "correct" facts to calculate, I will provide thoughtful examples of lessons (morals) and a reflection that fit the story perfectly. You can use these ideas or write your own similar ones.

Step 1: Identify Lessons/Morals for the Truffula Tops
The story teaches several important lessons about nature and responsibility. Here are four common morals you can write in the circles:

1. Protect Nature: We need to take care of our environment because once it is destroyed, it is very hard to fix.
2. Speak Up for Others: Even if you are small (like the Lorax), you should speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves (like the trees and animals).
3. Greed is Harmful: Wanting too much money or stuff (like the Once-ler did with Thneeds) can hurt the world around us.
4. Individual Responsibility: The ending says, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." This means change starts with *you*.

Step 2: Write a Reflection for the Bottom Box
The prompt asks: *"The thing I thought about after reading the Lorax was..."*

Here is a good example answer:
"I thought about how easy it is to waste things like paper and plastic without thinking. The story made me realize that I should try to recycle more and plant trees so we don't end up with a barren landscape like the one in the book."

Fill in the bottom box:
"The thing I thought about after reading the Lorax was how important it is to take care of the Earth. I realized that if we don't stop polluting and cutting down trees, we might lose beautiful places forever. It made me want to help keep my community clean."
