Friends, I’ve been doing a LOT of writing this week. For a LOT of folks. For a LOT of reasons.
One thing I wrote for today is my article on storytelling and play for the Two Writing Teachers website.
Give it a click. Enjoy!
Story Challenge Day 10: Easy Button
Soapbox: The Way I see Things 
These are great ideas for incorporating storytelling. I especially like the puppet idea and I know this is something I would use if I were still teaching. It is a great way for students to hone their oral language skills, understand how dialogue works and how it moves a story along, and students are not under pressure because 20+ others are listening to them.
It sure is! Plus, it’s really fun to watch them roll their pride up into a ball, stick it into their back pockets (sometimes reluctantly), and just let themselves go!
Wow, you are busy! I read the article (it was great) but I couldn’t get the video to play. It opened but the little circle just went round and round…!?
Oh, no! Maybe I’ll have someone else test out the link to see what happens. Thank you for letting me know!
