Description
Engage your 3rd-6th grade students in descriptive writing with this fun project based on "The Mysteries of Harris Burdick," by Chris Van Allsburg. Students will first choose from EIGHT of the pictures from Van Allsburg's book, followed by students filling out the graphic organizers to help them develop their story to go along with the mysterious picture. This resource is a great way to show students how to draw inspiration from the photos, brainstorm their ideas, and write a story based on the book. Your students will love this descriptive writing activity that's anything but ordinary!
