Research suggests that when students are engaged in a language-filled environment, when their intellectual curiosity is piqued through the evaluation and analysis of example stories, and when they get a chance to craft and perform stories of their own, they work hard and have fun doing it.
Will every student find storytelling motivating, or could some struggle with an activity like this?
The comfort zone of the oral tale can be the path by which they reach the written one.
I like the idea of this, speaking and sharing stories around can help students gain the confidence and skills they need for writing. Oral storytelling can be a bridge to literacy.
Children at any level of schooling who do not feel as competent as their peers in reading or writing are often masterful at storytelling.
This is impactful because it shows how storytelling gives all students a chance to have their moment, even those who struggle with school. It's a different kind of intelligence and lets kids find confidence in their own voice.
Educators can learn as much from the making process as from the telling process.
This shows that storytelling isn't just about performance, the creative process is also important. Teachers and students can both grow by experimenting, revising, and exploring many different ideas before anything has to be shared. The time spent writing the story teaches just as much as the final product.
