We went into the book in Carlos and the Squash Plant. One way to connect to the text is to visualize the events in the book as if watching a movie. After reading and experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of Carlos’s home in the Espanola Valley in New Mexico, we went one step further. What would it be like to be Carlos and have a squash plant growing out of your ear? One student who tried it found he got angrier as the plant got longer, so his pictures are the link for the “Into the Book” link on the right.
"Carlos" is not happy about his ear!
