Flashbacks

So here's my power point on flashback.  It includes some great Youtube clips from Ratatouille and The Lion King.

I had the students write the word flashback on a plain piece of paper then they had to hold it up when the flashbacks occurred.  I also read Langston's Train Ride by Robert Burleigh, as it is full on flashbacks (even flashbacks within flashbacks)  Then the students had to highlight flashbacks in a couple of short stories I provided.

The Lost Boy by Greg Ruth

Nate has just moved into a new home in a new neighborhood.  When he discovers an old tape reel under the floorboards in his room, he is drawn into a strange world which is starting to move beyond the woods in his bau.  With the help of Tabitha, one of the local children, he uncovers buglings, killer trees, talking dolls and unsolved mysteries.  Will he ever find out what happened to Walt, the boy who made the recordings then dissappeared?  Will he be able to stop the evil in the woods?  Find out in The Lost Boy by Greg Ruth.

(I was a little worried because I did not love this book.  The pictures were fantastic but the story made me feel a little like "been there, done that".  After reading other reviews though, I found I was not alone.)
