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. <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
