NARRATIVE STORIES-Trimester 1
|
Students had to write a response to the story by Chris Van Allsburg called The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. The Synopsis for this book is "Thirty years ago a man called at Peter Wenders's office (a book publisher), introducing himself as Harris Burdick. Mr. Burdick explained that he had written fourteen stories and had drawn many pictures for each one. He’d brought with him just one drawing from each story, to see if Mr. Wenders liked his work. Peter Wenders was fascinated by the drawings. He told Burdick he would like to read the stories that went with them as soon as possible. The artist agreed to bring the stories the next morning. He left the fourteen drawings with Wenders. But he did not return the next day. Or the day after that. Harris Burdick was never heard from again. Over the years, Wenders tried to find out who Burdick was and what had happened to him, but he discovered nothing. To this day Harris Burdick remains a complete mystery." Below are the different pictures from this book, and a link to the stories the students wrote in response to the pictures.
