Storytelling and show and tell
Storytelling and show and tell
Show and tell is a fantastic way of getting learners to express themselves and share their inner thoughts and feelings about situations.
Sometimes learners can play safe with the choices that they make and this can limit their potential to be creative in their thoughts.
Using a structured approach to show and tell can take learners off in different directions and unlock creativity that simply holding a favourite object and saying what it is is and why you like it often promotes.
Ideas to consider:
- How do you organise Show and tell?
- Do you ever use objects as the basis of a narrative for all learners?
- What can a whole class of learners come up with from just thinking about the same object?
