hit.
I had my assistant off to the side and a little remote control
device(in this case a spider) under a "treat box". I decoupaged the box
with different warning labels and had it on the table beside me as I
read the book. Whenever I mentioned the phrase "treat box" my assistant
moved it.
Depending upon the class and the obvious fact that it is a bit
freaky, depends upon your noise level and response during the book talk.
I had some classes that were totally oblivious and I had some that
screamed! However after we talked about the message of the story we
also had a look at what was under the treat box. This reiterated the
message that things are not what they seem (although it might have been
better if it were a remote controlled car). What might be better (and I
had to do since I have five sections) is to wait and let the kids minds
fester, unclear of what's inside the box...
If you'd like to see pictures, I have them posted on an
"unknown"/temporary page off my school web site:
