20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

After reading an especially descriptive section of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the kids decided that they wanted to draw the scene that Jules Verne had described in his book.  I love when literature and art collides.  Actually I just love that THEY love to learn.  From here they went on to write some pretty fabulous short pieces; with an emphasis on description.  It's pretty hard not be descriptive after you've read great literature!
