Description
Children Are Natural StoryTellers. To get your students excited about writing...begin with a great story! These guided experiences build confidence and help individuals find their true voice as they toggle between the written and spoken word. They work cooperatively, listening to and interpreting a speaker's messages - both verbal and nonverbal. They assist one another by making pertinent comments, and asking relevant questions to clarify the speaker's purpose or perspective. Students speak, critique, compete, and learn to tell a great tale through experiences that strengthen writing skills while promoting concentration, cooperation, and communication.
