Finished editing and posted a new 3–5 lesson,
Characters in Because of Winn-Dixie: Making Lists of Ten. Believe it or not, it's not my lesson. I know you see "Lists of Ten" and think it's mine, but somehow that lesson plan seemed too obvious, so I didn't even think about it. Fortunately, my colleague did. In the book
Because of Winn-Dixie, the protagonist, Opal, learns about her absent mother when her father shares ten things about her. This makes a lasting impression on Opal; and later in the novel, when Winn-Dixie is missing, she makes here own mental list of ten things about her dog. In this lesson, students create their own lists of ten to summarize the features of a character.
