Alan Alexander Milne was an English author best known for his books about Winnie the Pooh and characters from the Hundred Acre Woods. The stories originated from Milne's son Christopher Robin's stuffed animals, including his son's toy bear named Winnie. The characters were popularized through Ernest Howard Shepard's illustrations and the 1977 Disney animated film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which became the second most popular Disney movie. The document provides suggestions for using Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories in a 5th grade classroom, such as reading from the adventures, going on a search based on the stories, or showing related YouTube videos.
