If my students don't participate I kill them.
With a bat.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Vampire or cricket?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm hoping fruit.

Aluminum baseball.
They sound the best.

“Not dead yet!”
Aluminum baseball.
Yeah, but the reverb's hell. Thirty-six oz. Louisville Slugger has a nice heft to it.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
While I like to use a baseball bat, enjoying both the aluminum and the Louisville Slugger, I have learned that phone books don't leave marks. The solid 'thunk' when used properly is satisfying as well.

ita, I just saw your wounds. ACK! Poor you.
I'd say join me in applying scotch, but that'd probably sting. So something unstingy.
How is it that I get through a week of hell, and only now my back starts crawling? Annoying.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Sophia, I would bring in a bunch of photos--like of Jon Hamm in Mad Men, Captain Jack in Pirates, Cate Blanchett in LoTR, etc, and have the group describe what they can tell about that character from the way they are dressed. You might want to have a board to write down the adjectives. Once you get a list, you can go back and talk about what specific things in the costumes create those impressions.

I dunno; as a spectator, there is nothing sweeter than the crack of a wooden bat, but as a batter (admittedly raised playing softball, where we weren't allowed to use wooden bats), that sweet sweet PING! when you nail it just right and send it deep into left field is one of the best sounds I have ever heard.

For the record, most kids at the upper levels of Little League use composite fiber bats which neither Crack nor Ping.
It's more of an (authoritative sounding): Paaak!
(This may have something to do with Korea's rise as an international baseball superpower.)
