I have used this lesson to teach characterization. I am using it again to reinforce literary concepts we studied using a unit featuring the film Million Dollar Baby. My high school students (boys) really enjoy reconnecting with The Cat in the Hat. They also have fun psychanalyzing each other and the adults around them! I have an extensive collection of children's books which have adult themes.

Great lesson. I've used it three times now. This time I changed the Psychoanalysis Chart to represent exposition, rising action, climax, and falling action/resolution instead of beginning, middle, end. This more closely matches the plot diagram on the plot analysis chart.
We also always get into a discussion about the mother. Are these latchkey children because Mom has to go to work? Is she being self-centered and going shopping? Or is she doing something less savory? (H.S. students will go there.)
