Take a hike with Ms. Chapman and get some writing inspiration.
Visit Baltimore's historic Patterson Park and surrounding neighborhood to inspire your child's writing. The features in this urban area are compared to a rural area using a simple homemade graphic organizer. Your child can compare their own neighborhood to practice comparing and contrasting, observing their neighborhood and gain an appreciation for the world they have around them. An extension opinion writing idea is also featured.
