I liked your lesson - I like the chart - I think I will encourage my kids to make something that is similar to use in their lit. circles. I was wondering if you could do some sort of reflective essay comparing their life and the possibility of a situation that might be difficult and what they have in their personal arsenal that would help them in that situation....
Ron, Your lesson was great. I like the visual posters to make students make a decision about how they view the world. Then as the story progresses you keep relating it back to what they decided in the beginning and how the author must feel about it. What a way to make them think a little more deeply.
It was really a fine lesson. I like how you opened up the reading to a wide variety of ideas and topics. That is what defines good teaching: opening up the possibilities for our students to recognize potenitalities they would have otherwise missed.
