April Fool's jokes

April Fool's Day took place this year over spring break - this is unfortunate, as I like to 'pull one over' on my students, and have them do some writing around it. However, I showed the class this video, which they were very excited to see, after I told them it had something to do with Pokemon and Google. Here is the video:
 

Afterward, we talked about it - the class thought it was really cool, and wished that they could participate in it, as one of the students noticed that the deadline (April 2nd) had passed last week. Then, another one of the students noted that she had almost thought it was an April Fool's joke. I then informed them that it was an April Fool's joke (at which time, many of the students tried to convince me that they hadn't fallen for it... but we all know better!). I then showed them the Google Nose video from April Fool's 2013, which I used to fool my whole class last year. If you don't remember it, here it is:

I then had the students use these videos as inspiration, and write about the best April Fool's joke they've ever been a part of. Keep your eyes on the blog, as we'll post them when we're done!
