[Teacher: Open a book, and begin “reading” it with the words all mixed up and out of order so it doesn’t make any sense (example: “Upon was time a there once prince tower a in…”).]
Oh dear, this story seems to be very mixed up! Is it making any sense to you? It’s no fun to read when we can’t understand it! What can we do?
[Teacher: “Accidentally” let the QR code/USB drive drop out of the book so students can see it.]
What is this? Do you think it’s a clue? Maybe we can figure out why this book is so mixed up. I think we need to do some detective work! What do you think it is telling us?
[Teacher: If students need help, direct them to interpret the QR code page to see that they have to find clues on the website the QR code will lead to OR plug the USB drive in to see what clues might be on it]
