The Polar Express Lesson Plan

From Scholastic:

I use The Polar Express for a Chris Van Allsburg author study and also as a read-aloud. My students love this story and the illustrations. They like talking about what they would ask Santa for as a gift.

Students read a wide range of print and non-print texts to build an understanding of texts, of themselves, and of the cultures of the United States and the world; to acquire new information; and for personal fulfillment.
