STORIES TO LEARN BY

Picture
             
​SIRI ALLISON
       Who doesn't love an interesting story?   Our minds are engineered to think narratively, so we remember a story more easily than a list of facts or dates.   Stories are a great way to engage students with new ideas, and to help them develop higher-level thinking skills.  Acting out the stories reinforces the story structure, and increases the students' self-confidence and creativity.
       My programs are designed for elementary classrooms, with multiple visits to reinforce listening, comprehension, public speaking, and creative skills.    
     
Each classroom visit lasts about 45 minutes (half-hour for kindergarten).   I tell two or more stories, and bring props and costumes for acting out one of them.  The stories open up topics for rousing discussion.  We have a lot of serious fun!
       I am happy to design a program around teachers' requests.   To learn more about my currently available programs, click on the lines in the upper left hand corner of this page.  The themes are:
