Because of Winn-Dixie Lesson/Activity Ideas

Activity Idea #1: Publisher's Novel Study
Candlewick Press, the publishers, has a teacher's resource guide for this book -- 6 pages of different lesson plan / activity ideas for Because of Winn Dixie. To access this FREE resource, click here:Because of Winn Dixie novel study

Activity Idea #2: Letter to Mom
Throughout the book, Opal thinks about what she would tell her mother if she saw her again. Have your student pretend to be Opal and write a letter to her mother telling her all about life since moving to Naomi, Florida with her father. Letters should focus on describing the people she has met and the experiences she has had, plus whether she likes living in Naomi more now than when she first got there (and why). Teachers will be able to sense the extent to which the student read and understood the book from the letter than they produce.

Activity Idea #3: Lessons Learned inBecause of Winn-Dixie
The town of Naomi, Florida is full of eccentric, unique characters, and Opal learns a lot of good life lessons through each new encounter. Think of when Opal met each character, and for FOUR of the phrases below, give an example of how Opal learned this valuable lesson (ie: who did she meet and why did she learn this lesson)

Don't judge others by appearances.

Don't believe what other people say about a person.

"Some people have a strange way of going about making friends."

"You can't always judge people by the things they've done in their past."

Sometimes people aren't friendly because they are holding a lot of sadness inside.

Elderly people often have some of the best stories to tell.

Answers: (1) the dog's initial appearance, or really almost any character in the story, as long as it is explained as to why, (2) Stevie & Dunlap kept saying that Gloria Dump was a witch (3) the Preacher and Gloria Dump told Opal this about how Stevie & Dunlap were treating her, (4) about Otis being in jail, but could also be logically related to other characters, (5) Amanda Wilkenson-- about Carson, (6) Miss Franny Block, the elderly librarian who was always full of great stories.Activity Idea #4: Map of Naomi

For artistically inclined students... Have students imagine a map of the town of Naomi, placing different places mentioned in the book on the map. Locations are NOT clearly specified, so the student can create the map however they please. Instruct the student to include 15-20 people, places, and events from the book on the map. A person can be shown in more than one place at a time (ie: Otis at the pet store +Otis elsewhere playing music on the street).

Students will have to read the story in order to create this map, and will 'revisit' the stories and events in the process of making it. (Suggestion: Provide an over-sized piece of paper.) Possible items students may include (do not provide this list the student):

The characters in '' are typically small-time locals who want to be happy, feel loved, and just get by in life. A handful of characters are elderly, a few are in their midlife, and the rest are children and young persons. Starting with our protagonist Opal, Let's take a dive into the characters in Kate DiCamillo's ' Because of Winn-Dixie'.

Opal Buloni

Opal is the beloved protagonist in Kate DiCamillo's ' Because of Winn-Dixie ', and she narrates her story as an 11-year-old recalling back to last summer when she was 10 years old, sad, and lonely. Opal and her father, the preacher, have just recently moved to Florida making it hard for her to find a friend.

Since her Mama (her mother) left when she was only three years old, her father hasn't quite been the same - as he often either gets himself buried in work or is found grieving over his estranged wife. For this reason, he doesn't give Opal the care and attention that she needs - hence Opal's angst and sadness.

The story changes for Opal one day as she finds Winn-Dixie, an unkempt dog and about the friendliest animal alive, lost at a supermarket. Through adopting Winn-Dixie, Opal learns the first things about friendship and human relations and goes on to make a lot of friends - even those she initially thought were her enemies. She learns, through Winn-Dixie, to move on with life and make the most out of what's given to her.

Winn-Dixie

Winn-Dixie is a shabby little stray dog found by Opal at the supermarket galavanting wildly in the corners, lost. Homeless and with no clear destination, Winn-Dixie was going to be caught and taken to the pounds but when Opal shows up he seems to calm down on seeing her.

Opal feels a connection with Winn-Dixie so she adopts him and convinces the preacher to accept him. Winn-Dixie is two major qualities; he is able to make friends and is a good listener. He helps Opal get over her lonely days by being a great companion, and forces her to make new friends she didn't initially think possible. In the end, Opal credits Winn-Dixie for turning her snow, boring life into an interesting and lovely one.

Otis

Otis owns the Gertrude pet store to which Opal works. He is a very exceptional lover of music and quite skillful with guitars. However, when Opal finds he's been jailed in the past, she becomes wary of working or associating with him. She later considers him a good friend after hearing his side of the story and even invited him to a party that she throws at Gloria Dump's house.

Miss Franny Block

She is an aged woman who works at the library. She becomes Opal's very first friend thanks to the workings of Winn-Dixie. Miss Franny is quite experienced and has so many stories to tell but feels just as lonely as Opal because she has no one to talk to. Once Opal understands this - and assured her that Winn-Dixie isn't the same ferocious bear that that almost took her life years ago - they become friends.

The Preacher

The preacher is Opal's father who is so-called because he does the work of a Christian minister and pastor. In fact, moving to Florida with his daughter Opal is inspired by the fact that he is to take charge as lead minister for the Arms Baptist Church over at Naomi.

The preacher loves his daughter but doesn't find the chance or time to fully express it. And he also thinks too much about his estranged wife, according to Opal. However, at the book's climax, when the tension of losing Winn-Dixie is hot, the preacher finds the moment to completely open up about his love for Opal - and that mama is never coming back home.

Gloria Dump

Another advanced lady who is partially blind and - from the outside - is perceived as kind of weird. The kids in the block, especially the two brothers Stevie and Dunlap, think of her as a witch and gladly teases Opal that her dog is going to be eaten When Winn-Dixie leaps a gate into Gloria Dump's property.

But Gloria acts the opposite and feeds Winn-Dixie some peanut butter and offers Opal herself when she enters the property. Again, Winn-Dixie's charm helps opal close down another good friend who would go on to teach her some important life lessons, such as how to not be judgmental of people and their past.

Amanda Wilkinson

She is a kid who lives in Opal's neighborhood. Amanda is described by Opal as a difficult and mean girl who liked to find fault in situations. Just like Opal, Amanda frequents the library to get books and return them, but Opal hasn't convinced her manner towards the elderly Miss Franny Block is good enough. Later Opal is told she had lost her brother last summer, so she understands Amanda is putting up the attitude due to grief.

Littmus Block

This man is Miss Franny Block's great grandfather who fought in the civil war. During the time he was a young adult he relished fighting in wars but soon hated wars after losing the majority of his family members in the American civil war of which he fought in.

Littmus grew sad and depressed and as a result, invented the Littmus Lozenge candy which is sweet but has an underlying sadness ingredient that makes anyone who eats it recall the pains of their past.

Dunlap and Stevie Dewberry

Dunlap and Stevie are two mean brothers in Opal's neighborhood and they oftentimes are the bane of Opal's existence - as they would taunt her every day on her way home from Gertrude's. Later, Opal converts them into friends after Gloria convinces her the boys aren't as bad and mischievous as they appear.

Mama

Mama is the mother of Opal who leaves when Opal was only three years old. Mama is talked about very much in the whole of ' Because of Winn-Dixie'. Readers never get to physically see mama but the preacher tells Opal ten things about mama just to keep her spirit going. From there we learn that a mama is a lovely person, who loves to plant and watch things grow up. Sadly also, mama hated being the wife of a preacher and is an alcoholic.

Sweetie Pie Thomas

She's a cute five-year-old and one of Opal's first friendly encounters. She is very homely and invites Opal to her forthcoming birthday party. However, despite Sweetie Pie Thomas's age, by eating the sad candy (Littmus Lozenge), she is revealed to also be saddened like the rest of the characters for not owning a dog as cute and lovely as Winn-Dixie.

While exploring one afternoon with her older brother Jack, 7-year-old Annie discovers a tree house. Before he can object, Annie climbs up the rope ladder to see it is filled with books. Jack follows her, and the two of them investigate the stacks of books, including one about Pennsylvania and Frog Creek where they live, and one about dinosaurs. When Jack touches a picture of a Pteranodon and says that he wishes he could see a real one, Annie claims to see a monster flying through the sky. Jack identifies it as a Pteranodon. Suddenly the wind begins to blow and the tree house starts to spin wildly. The children hold onto each other and close their eyes. When they open them, they find that they have been transported back in time to the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago.

The children approach the Pteranodon and find that it has soft, fuzzy skin. Jack decides to write down what he's experiencing, as a scientist would, using a notepad from his backpack. In the middle of their conversation, they spot another dinosaur on a nearby hilltop. Looking up the description in the dinosaur book, Jack learns that it's a plant-eating Triceratops. The children approach him, and Jack takes more notes about the dinosaur's appearance and habits.

As they explore, Jack stumbles across a gold medallion engraved with the letter M. He tries to tell his sister about it but she has run off to get a closer look at a mud nest filled with baby dinosaurs. A large duck-billed dinosaur bellows loudly, and Jack knows that he must protect his sister. They look at the ground and remain still, and the dinosaur quiets down. Annie thanks her brother for saving her life. Jack explains that mothers don't like anyone to disturb their babies. The book describes this dinosaur as an Anatosaurus and says that they live in colonies. Jack understands that there are more mother dinosaurs nearby. Suddenly he hears a loud bellow again and sees the Anatosaurus running away from a giant Tyrannosaurus rex. The book says that if a T rex lived today, it could eat a person in one bite.

The children run as fast as they can toward the tree house and try to figure out a way to get back home. They make a wish but nothing happens. Then Annie remembers that Jack was looking at the dinosaur book just before they were transported. Jack explains that he left the book and his backpack on the hill when they ran to escape from the T rex. He races to retrieve it, dodging the Pteranodon and a pack of Anatosaurus. When he returns to the tree house, the Tyrannosaurus is standing in the way of the rope ladder. Annie climbs down and begins talking to the Pteranodon nearby. Jack urges her to go back into the tree house, but she continues to talk to the dinosaur and point to the sky. Then Jack sees the Pteranodon fly toward him and land at his feet. As the T rex charges in his direction, Jack climbs on the Pteranodon's back, and they fly to the safety of the oak tree. When Jack gets there, he thanks Annie for saving his life.

Jack manages to climb to the tree house before the T rex reaches him. He scrambles to find the book with the picture of Frog Creek so that they can return home. When he makes a wish, the wind begins to blow, and the tree house spins as before. They return to present time and realize that no time has passed since they've been gone. The sun is in the same place in the sky, and their mother is calling them to come home for dinner. Jack shows his sister the gold medallion, and together they wonder what the M stands for. Maybe it means that a magic person built the tree house and put the books inside. The children decide not to tell their parents or their teacher about their magic journey because they think no one will believe them. They decide to return to the magic tree house the next day for another adventure.

Take-and-make kits; craft kits; programs to go: whatever your library calls these programs in a bag that have become a staple of no-contact offerings, one thing is fairly standard: these kits are well loved, but they take time to make. I love creating materials for kits and thinking about how a family might interact with program materials at home. I've introduced a new pair of kits for ages 6-11 in January 2021: Book Club in a Bag. This week's feature: Yasmin Kit featuring the amazing Yasmin by Saadia Faruqi.

The Book Club in a Bag kits look a bit different from some of my previous kits. Instead of focusing on just one book universe, these kits each feature four characters, hopefully some old favorites as well as some new, diverse characters.

In January, these featured characters included (links provided as the bag contents are shared on Book Cart Queens):

Each bag contains some repeated resources:

List of kit contents

List of books in the featured series

List of readalike books

Discussion questions

Swag item (button, sticker, bookmarks)

1-3 crafts, games, activities

Yasmin Kit

The Yasmin Kit can be as simple or as elaborate as you'd like. Most of this kit can be re-created simply using a printer, with the addition of extra items (like cardboard binoculars) depending on your budget.

Want to use make a Yasmin Kit at your library? Download the PDFs at the links below, or write a comment or send an email ( bookcartqueens@gmail.com) for editable files.

Yasmin General Materials

Each bag contains some of the same basic materials, and the Yasmin kit is no different.

Yasmin Bookmark - Readalikes

The Yasmin readalike bookmark features these titles:

Yasmin Discussion Questions

Slideshare not working? Download the PDF of the discussion questions here.

The Yasmin Discussion Questions included:

General Questions:

Look at the front cover. What do you think will happen in this story? Why do you think that?

What emotions did Yasmin feel in this story? Does it have a happy ending for her?

What happened first? Next? Then what happened?

What does Yasmin do when she is interested in something?

What have you learned about Yasmin's culture? How is this similar or different to what your family does?

Sample Story Questions: Yasmin the Explorer

What do you know about explorers? Do you think you would like to be an explorer?

How did your family travel to where you live now? Did your relatives come from another country?

Why is Yasmin excited to go to the market with her mom?

What symbols does Yasmin include on her map?

Yasmin Swag - 1″ Buttons

This bag also included a few pieces of Yasmin swag: five 1″ buttons. Download a printable PDF to make them yourself here.

Yasmin Crafts, Games, and More

Yasmin loves to explore her community, so my crafts and activities connect to exploration too! First, I included a set of play binoculars and materials to decorate them (stickers in this bag plus crayons in the overall larger envelope, to be used for all included kits).

I purchased white cardboard tubes online. I put two tubes next to each other, wrapped a rubber band around them, and added a strip of hot glue near the seam. I rotated the tubes until the hot glue was in between the two tubes, and left the rubber band on for a few minutes to make sure it dried. Then, I cut strips of yarn and hot glued the ends into the insides of the tubes. These are obviously not fully functioning binoculars, but they do help kids focus their eyes on just one item at a time.

I also included a half sheet with a Nature Scavenger Hunt on one side and recommended nature books on the other.

Slideshare not working? Download the PDF of the Nature Scavenger Hunt here.

Yasmin Map Kit

In the book Yasmin the Explorer, Yasmin draws her own map of her community. I like the idea of participants exploring their neighborhoods too, so I included two activities around this theme.

One was simply a blank piece of paper to use to draw your map (I had to keep something simple!):

The other item was this cool make-a-town printable, filled with printed roads and buildings.
