Skeletons out of the closet

I love the analogy of the cartoon. I really, really like the idea of having a basic sentence referred to as a skeleton which needs skin, muscle and etc. It reminds me of Janelle's cracking open the egg (sentence). These both are great ways to make revision a little bit more exciting. I also like to use the "sandwich" when it comes to details, because you don't just want meat and bread. That would be boring! =) Especially students at a young age need the revision process to be referred back to something they can visualize.
