[LM_NET] SHARE: In A Dark, Dark Library

["Tony L. Pope" <pope1966@AOL.COM>]

I wanted to share a retelling of "In A Dark, Dark Room" with everyone as Halloween 
approaches.  I'm hoping to present at the Georgia Children's Lit. Conference in 
Athens, GA in late February on the topic "In a Dark, Dark Library."  I plan to 
present on what we do in our library using various lighting techniques at 
Halloween with the book the "Spider and the Fly" and some other books.  We turn 
the overhead lights out and have other various lights around.  I utilize a black 
light during stories, and students even use miniature flash lights from Oriental 
Trading Post to look for books on the shelf.  Below is the story I plan to tell to 
each class before we get started.  Use it if you like!



IN A DARK, DARK LIBRARY

 

 

In a dark, dark town…

 

There was a dark, dark, road.

 

And on that dark, dark road…

 

There was a dark, dark school.

 

And in that dark, dark school…

 

There was a dark, dark hallway.

 

And down that dark, dark hallway…

 

There was a dark, dark library.

 

And in that dark, dark library…

 

There was a dark, dark bookcase.

 

And on that dark, dark bookcase,

 

There was a dark, dark book.

 

And in that dark, dark book…

 

There were LOTS OF STORIES!

 

And today…we are going to hear some of them!
