  1. I want to share this script with you all, but sorry the underlined details aren’t transferring (you can pry figure them out). I hope Ben will post the version with underlines today sometime. Until then, see the script below.
    I understand there are 4 structures, but likely your students will know at least one of these already, probably more of them. And “pinches” is quite infrequent and so if doesn’t get the reps the others get it isn’t a big deal.
    If using with MS or HS students, be preemptive of what the other student is “only looking at”… suggest something goofy and don’t even let them “go there” if you know what I mean.

    The St. Patty’s Day Pinch
    has on (OR is wearing)
    can’t see
    is only looking at
    pinches
    Shirin has on a green sweater. Elliot can’t see the green, because he is only looking at Shirin’s feet. So Elliot pinches her.
    Larry has on green sunglasses. Monica can’t see the green, because she is only looking at his chest. So she pinches him in the chest with her toes.
    Carolyn has on green socks. Kim can’t see the green, because she is only looking at Carolyn’s left ear. So she pinches her in the ear with her fingernails.

  2. My students love your stories Jim. They are happily revisiting the one about two kids, one without a mouth, the other one with two. Any chance you would write a book of stories for elementary?

  3. Well until they collaborate on that book, I am putting about five pages of stuff Catherina wrote on the Forum about elementary CI in an appendix to my new book. It reads so well and points out the difference between upper levels and those really little kids in a clear manner. Some may remember reading that on the Forum. It was about five months ago.
    I have poached a lot from comments and articles posted here for the book. Diana, Robert, Catherina, Eric, David, Alisa, Nathaniel, Jim – all kinds of people. Such rich stuff. If anyone thinks I may have used something and doesn’t want it in that book let me know asap.
