Harris Burdick

We've just finished a writing assignment in Room 5 on The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.  This is a book filled with photographs.  Each photograph has a title and a caption.  The basis of the book is that these were left behind at a publisher's office by Harris Burdick.  He was to return with the stories behind each one...but never came back. 

Students could select which photograph they wanted to write about.   The title of their story had to be the title of the picture and the quote had to be somewhere in their story. 

This week, we gathered in groups to share our stories.  Each student was to give the background of their story, then read the section around the quote.
