When teaching, a student would often come to me and say, "Teacher, I don't got no pencil". To explain the double negative, which ends up making what you mean to say the opposite (in this case, the student doesn't have a pencil), I directed a little show. The student held out both hands, palms up. In one, I placed a pencil and named that hand "a pencil". The empty hand was dubbed "no pencil". Since the student didn't have "no pencil", that hand was lowered to his side. So, he must have "a pencil", and should go sit down and do the assignment.
The visual helped the whole class not to use "double negative" together. They didn't not get it no more, neither!
