The Tyler Arboretum Writing Project What Lies Beneath?
AS YOU VIEW THE SLIDES: • View and analyze the pictures with precision. Remember the descriptive unit! • Think outside the box for possible story ideas.

You decide. • Remember that only stories relating to the first picture have a chance of being published online.
