I use to love reading The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson to my students.I forgot about it until a Media Specialist friend told me she is teaching students to sketchnote using the novel and sent me her notes for the first chapter (see below).
It is a timeless classic and one that has a lot of online resources for teachers. There is free 24 page novel guide on TpT (http://bit.ly/34HPMuf) with discussion questions for every chapter (TIP: Download and save it while it is free. I have found that often TpT free items get moved to paid ones). YouTube has the full length 1983 movie based on the book that students would enjoy as well (http://bit.ly/2LafyQf).
If you have never read the book give it a try this holiday season!
