[Teachldsseminary] story about "taters" It is Bro. Neil W. Decker's idea

[Esemmom at aol.com]

The "taters" you are looking for is from Brother Neil W. Decker's book,  
"What's The Object - A Way To Teach Them" Volume 1, pgs. 29-30.  
 
I purchased mine from Deseret Book some years ago. I believe they  still 
carry them.  He wrote several of these "objest  lesson" books.  I've had the 
pleasure to sit in on some of his  teaching sessions and firesides here in Boise.  
He's from the area, and is  retired from CES instruction. 
 
Anyway:
 
It is a First Day Challenge using 5 potatoes to help students to make their  
class a great class.
 
Show a big potato and ask class what are some of the names for this?   (You 
are looking for them to call it a tater.)
 
Pretend that this class is taters.  Show each of the 5 decorated  potatoes 
one at a time and ask the class to identify each tater and give the  
characteristics of each.
 
1 - SPECTATOR
2 - AGITATOR
3- COMMONTATOR
4- ANTICIPATATOR
5- PARTICIPATATOR
 
I hope that this is what you wanted.  Best Wishes for a great  year.
