The Mysteries of Harris Burdick

Your task now is to choose two images to write your stories. Think and observe the images carefully. They must be different as you need one for Spanish and one for English. You will be expected to write good fantasy stories in both languages including all the relevant fantasy elements, some mystery in order to hook the reader's attention as well as the caption. All the best!

Hello mis ale,

Miss Ale:
I stayed FACINATED, with this new project! The story of how all this of Burdick started is wonderful, and I love mystery. That`s why I like all these type of TRUE mystery. I would love to know the "END" or what realy happend with Burdick, or who was the one who met Burdick and talk with him. Perhaps also we are just thiking all these about mystery and whatever but he died and nobody knows, or he is rapped, or somthing like. All these made me think a lot of all the posibilities of things that could happen to this man.
Another thing, also is realy difficult to choose a picture. I like most of them ajja.
See you tomorrow.

Hello Miss Ale!!!
I'm very exited with this projects.
I would like to know the truth about Burdick. It is very mysterious. No one knows what happened to him. It is strage. It can be like one of the authors of the "Antología de Cuentos Fantásticos". There is one author that invented another author and people started noticing that there styles were similar.
I want to do the a very god story, better than other stories that I did in the past. I think that I all ready know witch pictures I am going to choose. I want this projects to start!!!
Just today the period before going to the audiovisual we were in the library and Lilli told us about this illustrator and that we had all ready read some of his books and then we read one of his book. When she told us that we were having a project we didn't have an idea of what she was talking but know we know. When you showed us the book we knew that it was the project that she had told us about because she had all ready shown us the book.

Hi Miss. Ale

I like very much this proyect, Idt is very difficult to choose one of the pictures. I am going to see them clearly on monthay. The story about Burdick, is very intereting. I cant stop thinking about what happened to this man. Realy, I don´t know why people like him do things like that, and specialy this man that in the future that never was, I think he was going to be famous. WE DRAWS VERY WELL!! I think that if someone, somehow, discoverers the truth, abour this man, his story would be a MYTH, but a very interesting Myth. I think that he was sick, but anyone knowed!!

Hi ale
I don`t know what we have to do because I was In teh Olipiadas of Maths and Joaco told me that you talked about a final project of fantasy but can you explain me a little bit tomorrow because I couldn`t understand much what Joaco told me. But for what I read in the post I could understand that we had to right a story with some pictures.

Hi miss Ale,

Who ever drew those pictures has/had am amazing skill! I wish I could draw like that... Some of the ones students found to most disturbing didn't bother me too much, but when I started looking at the details of the seemingly harmless ones, I got a bit scared.

The shading and lighting in the picture was astounding, as Mariana pointed out to us today, lighting all the faces and such, creating an astounding effect.

Hello Miss Ale, I have great ideas for this project. I am realy exited and happy because I like writting fantacy stories and reading too. I like when in same books that I read or they read me in libary I like when I cant stop reading or listening because it is very intresting and I what to know what is going to happen in the next chapters. But now it is different because I am goimng to gide the story and I am going to create it so it would be more fantastic. It is a good idea to put the power point in the blog so wee can see them better and choose with more seciurity and perhaps we impact in one image at firts point of view but now if we see cearefully we can have a better idea or we like the picture more or perhaps we can find more things to discribe (if you like discribing) or perhaps at first time the picture didnt convince yourself but you find something that it changes your mind and more and more options. Thank you Miss Ale of the posibility of writing our own fantasy story, the other one was work team. But I like working in group for some things and I like to work alone for other things but it is teachers decision we cant give an opinion. But anyone it's okey. Wish me LUCK!!!! for this intresting project. SEE YOU.
