ECE 335 WEEK 4 DISCUSSION 1
Discussion 1
Storytelling |
Stories are everywhere. They are the basis of our nightly
news, our conversations at the dinner table or on the phone, and the articles
we read in our local newspaper. Children are immersed in stories just as
we are, and this immersion is what helps even the very young become motivated
to learn to read. Section 7.2 of the course text discusses the importance of
storytelling in this process. Through storytelling children can learn how
to make sense of their world and begin to understand that we care about them
(Coats, 2013). For this post, you will be showing the necessary steps
involved in effective storytelling. After choosing a story to
read/perform to a preschool class, discuss the following elements:
·
The title and author
of your chosen story
·
Why you selected that
particular story
·
The steps you will
take to prepare your story for telling
·
Things to consider
while performing the story
·
How you will model
good storytelling to your students
·
The specific
culminating questions you might ask once you have finished the story
·
Which of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (Links
to an external site.)Links to an external site. for grade level K-5 (pg. 11) might be a focus
for this lesson, and why?
For this post, you can write a 200- to 300-word post describing
each element above, or you can submit a video of yourself going through the
steps of effective storytelling. Whichever option you choose, be sure to
post all necessary links and/or text, and address all of the elements.
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts.
Imagine you are a principal. You have observed the lesson of two of your
preschool teachers and are now sitting down with them to provide feedback about
their lesson. Respond to at least two of your classmates by providing
them with feedback. What stood out as being especially effective, and
why? Did you feel that the common core standard the lesson focused on was
appropriate? Why or why not? Were there any steps left out of the
process? If so, which ones? Lastly, what culminating questions stood
out as being effective, and why?
