I vividly recall the 6th grade square dance and fretting over whom I should ask to be my partner.
My buddy had the brilliant idea to divine a cootie catcher.
After posing the question to the cosmos, the choice was certain.
Come to find out all these years later, these origami fortune tellers are an awesome way to gamify the teaching of grammar, punctuation, syntax!
In today's very brief lesson, I illustrate how to run this exercise from start to finish.
As an aside ... I'm teaching summer school to the most reluctant group of kids I have ever encountered ...
And this exercise had them hooked!
Happy teaching and happy writing
