In addition, or another version of "Make no bones about it": I bought a door poster/decoration from party city of a shiny black & silver skeleton. In Interactive Writing, we co-created labels of body parts and posted them on our door poster. The title reads: "No Bones About it! Room 31 Knows Their Parts!"

I've been advised always to add some element of writing to art to prove it's integrated into literacy curriculum & teaching point. Our focus was NF/Expository for Reader's Workshop and this was an extension into Interactive Writing focus on labeling pictures to help readers better understand info presented in a text.
