That's funny. I'm a reading specialist who pushes in and I always say if Mrs. Soandso came in and slammed the door and threw her books on her desk - what would you think. It gets their attention 'cuz they're thinking it's out of the norm. Or at least that's what I'm hoping they're thinking. Great idea.

One that I use is I tell if they come into the classroom and saw me blowing my nose, coughing, sneezing, and looking really down....they would infer that I'm sick. No one had to tell them I was sick, they figured it out on their own from the clues I gave combined with what they know about what a cold looks and sounds like. From there I begin to provide examples in literature, especially wordless picture books.
