I know there is controversy surrounding using Dr. Seuss books but I feel like there is value in studying him as an author. We read Cat in the Hat and discuss the ethics of it-did he do the right thing? Then we apply the Over Time concept from Depth and Complexity. I ask the students to think about him as a character and imagine what he was like when he was little and what he'll be like in the future. Will he continue to break and enter in to people's houses to make them have fun? Was he a good student in Kindergarten? How has he changed over time?
