Notice and Note- Words of the Wiser- Strategy #4 (Practice)

 When a character (probably older and  wiser) takes the main character aside and offers serious advice, STOP and ask, "What's the life lesson and how might it affect the character?"  This lesson is probably the theme of the story. 

Practice: View the "Lion King" media clip to STOP and ask yourself, "What's the life lesson and how might it affect the character?"
