  1. The Polar Express Webquest created by Mrs. Seese

  2. New Words • On a sheet of paper keep a list of new words that you hear or read during the story. • When the story is over and you have a complete list use DICTIONARY.COM to find the meaning (you can use a real dictionary too).

  3. Illustrations (pictures) • Using a blank sheet of paper draw a picture for each new word. Illustrate how you “see” the word in your “head”. Play a movie in your mind of the new word.

  4. Word Patterns • We have been working with the digraphs: • sh, th, wh, ch, ck. Make a list of words from the story that you read of words that have these digraphs. Sort the words into digraph lists.

  5. Characters • Who are the main characters of the story? • Make a list of the main characters. These are characters that have a main role in the story, they appear consistently throughout the story. • Choose two of the main characters and make a list of describing words for each character (happy, sad, mean, nice, etc…). Then write a sentence for each character describing them.

  6. Ending • At the end of the story the bell is found and everyone is happy. How could the story have ended differently if the bell had not been returned to him? Write a new ending with at least two paragraphs and remember to check for spelling and punctuation.

  7. The Moral of the Story • A moral is a lesson learned. • What is the moral of The Polar Express? • Is there more than one moral? • Write your answers in complete sentences!
