HP in the classroom

[Amber ?]

Hello all! Had an interesting chat with my mom on the phone today. It seems 
that her students are asking her to help them read Harry Potter books. Given 
that she hasn't read the books yet (but she will, I'm gonna make her!) she 
asked me if I had any ideas of things to do for lesson plans and such.

Well, I'm not a teacher but I *know* there are teachers on this list who 
have done HP in the classroom. Would any of you like to give up your secrets 
so that I can tell them to my mom? She says her fourth through eighth grade 
students are the ones asking, although she does teacher kindergarten through 
fourth as well. What she *wants* to do is have the class read a chapter and 
then do some sort of activity afterward. If anyone has any ideas, let me 
know and I'll pass them on! Feel free to either email the list or me 
privately (inviziblegirl @ hotmail . com - without the spaces).

On a related note, some of her second graders talked to her about the movie. 
They said, "It was good but kinda scary". I thought that was so cute!
