How fun! My students do this every year too! Best story? One student had an uncle who was a Continental pilot. Took Flat Christian to Paris. Was posing in front of Notre Dame Cathederal when a crazed homeless man ran up and ATE the flat person. Oh man. Poor kid.
ReplyDeleteI love that you did this for her. I can't wait to see how it goes over in the classroom presentation. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI think this is such a fun and creative idea! I bet Greta will really enjoy sharing the adventures of her alter ego!
