Description: Many students have heard of "Magic e" or "silent e" but it went in one ear and out the other. My students inspired this creation to deepen the study, see the pattern, repeat the words, then apply them. It is fun to introduce this lesson by imitating mimes who are "stuck in an invisible box' and emphasize that they don't talk.
