For a spooky writing assignment during the last week of October, students at Islip’s Commack Road Elementary School had to use persuasive language to create and “sell” their own haunted houses. They also had to include a written description of their listing, as well as questions and answers for potential buyers. The class will later vote for the winning house.
“This was so much fun,” teacher Jennifer Beck said. “They really amazed me with their creativity.”
