We are currently studying the author, Chris Van Allsburg, in our E.L.A. classes. We are really enjoying his mysterious, fantasy books. Last week, we read Mr. Allsburg's third book, Ben's Dream. In this book, the landmarks that Ben and Margaret have been studying in geography class come to life for them! By the end of the book we were wondering (just as we had in his first two books), was it real....or was it all just a dream?
THE Ben's Dream CHALLENGE
In the book, Ben visits 10 famous landmarks. Your task, if you choose to accept it (or would like to recieve 50 Behavior Bucks), is to answer the following three questions about each landmark:
1. Where is the landmark located?
2. What is special about this landmark?
3. Why was it built?
You have until next Monday, October 18th, to finish the challenge and turn in your answers. Click below for a list of the landmarks and websites to help you with your research.
Good luck on this Site Seeing Adventure!
