Ben's Dream

We have been reading and comparing many of Chris Van Allsburg's books. It all started with the book, "Ben's Dream".

In the story a boy (Ben) falls asleep while studying for his geography test, and begins to dream. In his dream Ben floats by several famous landmarks across the world. We created a process grid with the landmarks, why it was special, and why it was built.

From there, groups worked together to create a flowchart - a map - showing the places Ben traveled in the story.

Now that we're familiar with many of the landmarks, it seems that we see them everywhere!
