I find it more difficult with my books because I'd ideally like an audience of Years 6 and 7 mixed together - but they are usually in different shcools (primary/secondary)! <br />With Year 6, I always find Ancient Egyptian curses and amulets do the trick.Katherine Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196712319655603442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950999049789394042.post-7258807788394519832010-02-14T03:56:13.348-08:002010-02-14T03:56:13.348-08:00I love the spaghetti covered corpse.

Some of the stories kids tell each other around Halloween are really bloodthirsty and creepy, far worse than the story books they get given. (Ishould know, I've had to deal with the subsequent nightmares...)<br />And thanks Amelia!Katherine Langrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529700103932422873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950999049789394042.post-3610710999777755482010-02-13T18:04:04.209-08:002010-02-13T18:04:04.209-08:00Very inspiring post :)

Lobotomies segueing into elves and folklore- how perfect is that!<br />When I was a child every kid in the neighborhood knew about the corpse covered in spaghetti in the parking garage and every kid embellished the story so that it took on the weight of an urban myth eventually. I don't know how many of the others started writing things down but it definitely was a start for me.Jo Treggiarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417288480274268189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950999049789394042.post-41685548941688780032010-02-13T02:23:34.211-08:002010-02-13T02:23:34.211-08:00Yunaleska!
