Believe it or not, it&#8217;s not my lesson. I know you see &#8220;Lists of Ten&#8221; and think it&#8217;s mine, but somehow that lesson plan seemed too obvious, so I didn&#8217;t even think about it. Fortunately, my colleague did. In the book <i>Because of Winn-Dixie<\/i>, 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.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"tag\"><br \/>\nTags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/English+language+arts\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">English language arts<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/K12+instruction\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">K12 instruction<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/ReadWriteThink\" rel=\"tag\" target=\"_blank\">ReadWriteThink<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finished editing and posted a new 3\u20145 lesson, Characters in Because of Winn-Dixie: Making Lists of Ten.
