My students thought this was the famous "red disc" 40,000 year old cave art.
I said, "Uh, guys, that's SALAMI."
Them: "What? Oh. I thought it looked a little weird."
Then I told them to add the slide to their Powerpoint presentation to the class and see if the class figured it out. Of course, the class missed it, because that's just how sixth graders work. In the fall, they are still very literal. If you show them a slice of salami photoshopped on a wall and tell them it's cave art, they will believe you. They will also believe way weirder stuff than that. That's why teaching sixth grade is so fun.
