This is maybe for my English/history friends. There is a nifty site called Clockbusters (http://www.veer.com/ideas/clockbusters/?cid=Em_411_amr_1_visu_all) which shows you 3 pictures and asks you to figure out the movie based on those three pictures. You have 60 seconds per movie, and if you type in close enough, it usually works for guessing. I think this would be a lot of fun when reading short stories or novels to see if the students could do the three image thing to get you to know what book or a scene in the book they are trying to convey.
Not to say this couldn't be done with math and science as well, but it might take a bit more planning and the development of more shared experiences, but it would be fun to try. As I will be studying for the physics teachers test in a month, I might actually try and put some of these together for physics and will post some if I do.
Would this be something you might want to try in your classes?
