Presuming that you haven't forgotten much over Winter Break, I believe that you are ready to start transforming animals into inanimate objects. One of the challenges of working with animals is that they move around quite a bit.

For beginning, I thought that you should try turning beetles into buttons. Before I pass out the beetles though, I would like you to practice saying the spell. Repeat after me: Scarabyga! Say it clearly: Scare-ab-ee-ga! Good. Twice more.

Now if you would each come up here and take a beetle, you may begin trying to turn it into a beetle.

Class, your time is up. Return all beetles up to me and remember to practice on another one that you find. You are dismissed.
