In this close reading of Kate DiCamillo's story The Tale of Despereaux students will meet a variety of charming, and not so charming, characters. Students will identify and analyze the characters' feelings, actions, and motivations to determine the traits of each character and form an opinion about them. The first read of this story has students annotating the text and incorporates guided instruction. The following reads will be cooperative and independent practice with opportunities for teacher feedback. At the end of the lesson, students will make a judgment about one of the characters and support their opinion using text evidence.
