The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963

by Christopher Paul Curtis


Kenny thinks that the 'Weird Watsons' are the most unusual family in the world. But, family is family and he loves them just the same. The trip from Flint, Michigan to Birmingham, Alabama is one of fun and adventure. Your project for Alabama is to write about a car trip you have taken with your family. It can be a long ride, such as the Watson's, or it can be a quick trip to the market. The paper should be one and a half pages long. Tell us why you chose this particular trip. Try to use as many details as you can to help bring the trip to life. Include sights, sounds, and events from the trip which made it memorable for you. Be sure to proofread your work before you hand it in.
