Berthoff, Ann E.
The Making of Meaning: Metaphors, Models and Maxims for Writing Teachers.
Portsmouth: Boynton/Cook Publishers, 1981.
This book is less about storytelling and more about the teaching of writing. It connected to my research as Berthoff writes much of making meaning out of the chaos in our lives. Berthoff’s book also overlaps ideas and strategies found in Ponsot’s work.

Ponsot, Marie and Deen, Rosemary.
Beat not the Poor Desk.
New Hampshire: Boynton/Cook Publishers, 1982.
This book is a wonderful tool for teaching writing of various forms in the classroom. Ponsot shares strategies for writing, listening, sharing, and revising. She not only provides concrete structures, but the rationale behind them.
