Objectives:
In this lesson the students will learn the importance of the Storyteller in ancient times as well as in modern times. They will realize that this is an art essential to the development and evolution of the mind and that today more than ever we need to rely on Storytelling to fight the mental passivity resulting from the use and abuse of TV.
Materials:
Two dittos
Strategies:
This lesson will be divided into three parts consisting of two dittos and the creation of a story.
