How to go...

But my children can read alone...

why do I need to read aloud to them?

  • STORYTELLER WANTS TO COMMUNICATE IDEA
  • LANGUAGE IS "CODED"
  • LISTENER "DECODES" LANGUAGE IN THE WAY THAT TELLER ENCODED

from this

STORY 4 An experiment in pairs.

1. As leave the room.

2. Bs watch and make notes in order to describe accurately what they see.

3. When As come back in the room Bs describe what they've seen as accurately as possible.

4. Now we watch together. Was your partner's description accurate?

COMPREHENSION GAP CAN LEAVE YOUNG READERS (6-8 yrs) WITH POOLS OF CONFUSION AND IMPEDE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES

"The {comprehension} gap is at least three reading levels, and sometimes more. A lot of children have such depth of comprehension when listening, but their skill for sounding out words impedes them and stops the flow of comprehension when they are left on their own."

Patricia Hallion, adjunct faculty member at the graduate program for reading teachers at Salem State College in Massachusetts

STORY 3

Work in pairs. Look at this situation.

WHY IS STORYTELLING CONSIDERED A GREAT MARKETING STRATEGY?

A large man takes the elevator from the ground floor to the third floor penthouse apartment he shares with his wife. After greeting her, he sees a man's watch on the table and assumes she's been having an affair. Thinking her boyfriend has escaped down the stairs, he rushes to the French windows and sees a good-looking man just leaving the main entrance of the building. Furious, the husband pushes the refrigerator through the window onto the young man below. The young man is killed by the refrigerator. The husband is killed from a heart attack caused by overexertion. The wife's boyfriend, who was hiding inside the refrigerator, is killed from the fall.

Activity

Imagine you have to give an inspiring talk to a group of people. What story of your life would you choose to tell them?

Three men die. On the pavement are pieces of ice and broken glass. WHAT'S THE STORY?

Working with narrative

As have the solution. BS should ask YES/NO questions to find out the story.

As may answer YES /NO / IT DOESN'T MATTER and give clues WHEN NECESSARY!
