Editorial Reviews

Review
“Sherry Norfolk, Jane Stenson, and Diane Williams have put together a collection of 48 classroom activities submitted by almost as many storytellers. Some are submitted by teachers, some by professional storytellers. The activities are arranged by grade level and the authors note national standards which can be met through each activity. Many ideas here for expanding the story into a classroom activity.”–In the Wind

“[P]rofessional storytellers and K-8 teachers contribute suggestions on how to implement strategies that complement instructional units as well as satisfy national educational standards. Lesson objectives are explained in detail as well as the best methods for assessing student comprehension of a story. Activities emphasize student communication and multiple intelligences....A valuable bibliography of pertinent resources is located at the end of this book. The Storytelling Classroom would be a worthwhile purchase for educators who teach subject content through stories. Recommended.”–Library Media Connection

“Arranging presentation by grade level from kindergarten up through grade eight, the four chapters in this teaching resource collect lesson plans and activities based around stories for teaching language arts, science, math, and social studies. The 48 contributions identify national standards met and provide a materials list, detailed instructions, assessment ideas, and references.”–Reference & Research Book News

Product Description
The Storytelling Classroom is an inspiring, practical and immediately applicable collection of preK through eighth grade lesson plans by and for teachers and media specialists who use storytelling in the classroom and storytellers who work in the classroom. Each lesson plan is linked to National Standards in Language Arts Social Studies, Math or Science and accompanied by an essay which provides a glimpse of the alchemy that occurs when students, teachers and story are brought together: student engagement, classrooms that are alive with thinking students, LEARNING!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book with vision, September 24, 2008
I am a storyteller and trainer. This book does what some other good books don't quite do in terms of teaching and showing all of us how to integrate stories effectively into class curriculum. I wish that all teachers and student teachers would study this book and implement it. When I am teaching, this book easily helps me find and integrate a teaching story for the lesson that does wonders for student comprehension and involves that key ingredient, joy. If you already know everything about storytelling and teaching, the bibliography alone makes this book worth the price. If you are a teacher teaching other teachers how to teach, this would make a good text book.
