Objective. This lesson is designed to introduce primary students to finding the main idea as a reading-comprehension strategy. The lesson uses the book Chrysanthemum, by Ken Henkes, and has students choose the main idea for sections of the story from a few possible choices.
Lawson is the transferred use of an English patronymic surname meaning âson of Laurence/Lawrenceâ from âLawâ which was a medieval pet form of Laurence.
Lawson is just another example of this popular âson ofâ surname trend. In this case, Lawson might be a good choice for the son of a father named Laurence or the son of an attorney or sheriff (i.e., âlawmenâ).
