[LIT] lit Digest, Vol 16, Issue 21

[Patriciagurnak at aol.com]

The picture books of Chris Van Allsburg really lend themselves to middle  
school thinking . . . each one is unique . . . and goes beyond the literal to so  
many interpretations!  Each one could be interpreted/analyzed in a variety  
of ways.  For example, Jumanji could develop into a small  group project of 
developing a  unique board game.  The  Mysteries of Harris Burdick could become a 
class book . . . each page  developing into a separate interpretation of each 
page in the  book.
