[aisle] Halloween library activity?

Tue Oct 29 14:39:04 CDT 2019

Today with my 6th graders we made Two-Sentence Horror Stories. I showed
them some carefully chosen examples I found with a Google search. They
selected a creepy picture and added it and their sentences to a Google
Slide and submitted it via their Google Classroom assignment. I will put
all the slides together in one presentation and show it on a loop when they
come back on Thursday.

About 250 students did this over 5 class periods (I doubled-up) and it was
highly engaging. Students of all levels were able to successfully
participate and were motivated to do so.

*“*You should be especially nice to a librarian today, or tomorrow.
Sometime this week, anyway.
Probably the librarians would like tea. Or chocolates. Or a reliable source
of funding." - Neil Gaiman
