The Ghost IQ Test (p. 5) and ask students to test their knowledge.
Then read the rest of Chapter 1 which clears up misconceptions about
ghosts (and which also explains the answers to the quiz). Children
will probably be surprised that someone can research the subject of
ghosts. Point out the length bibliography (pp. 132-134). Read Chapter
6 which describes some research on the subject and outlines ten
suggestions for finding a ghost.
Writing/research
activities:
Have a students dress up in an unusual costume (with lots of detail
and props) and, unannounced, walk into the classroom, attract
attention for perhaps ten seconds, and then leave. Ask students to
describe what they have seen, perhaps using the Ghost Report form (pp.
95-96). This makes a perfect Halloween activity.
