Today I read The Night Tree by Eve Bunting. This Christmas story is unlike many others. In this story a family travels to Luke's Forest on Christmas Eve night in search of their perfect tree. Once it's found, instead of cutting the tree down they decorate it, as they do each year, for all the animals in the forest.
Because this story is so unique, I wanted the students to make predictions. I read half the story and then asked them to predict/write how they thought the story would end. Once finished, I read the remainder of the story.
