First of all, I really enjoyed this and I was able to follow along. I love how the teacher told his students to write their experience when they eat the oreo. Maybe, I can use this strategy in the future with my students.

I haven't watched the video as yet, however, I total love this idea based on the blurb. I will use this! Thank you Mr. Innovative teacher.

This will probably work well in 3 out of 4 of my classes IF students from other teacher's classes are barging in to eat the cookies! But thanks for this idea; I will try it anyway.
