This is a plan for a read-aloud of the historical fiction story “A Train to Somewhere,” by Eve Bunting. It provides questioning support, activities, and a culminating writing task that asks students to think about how the character’s feelings changed throughout the story. It teaches students that sometimes things turn out for the best, even if it wasn’t what you wanted.
