Summary: In this beloved tale, the main character is from a home of little means. The glorious chocolate factory holds a contest and there are 5 lucky kids that will win a golden ticket and given a chance to explore the factory. Despite the odds, Charlie finds a golden ticket and goes with the other 4 children to the chocolate factory where the group embarks on a wild array of vividly depicted journeys.
Use in the Classroom: In my classroom I would use this book to teach students about building a schema. We would practice using our schema to build on what we learn as we read. We would stop and think about what we know about different things like the ompalompas and discuss how we know it and watch how our schema about them changes as we learn more throughout the story.
