Part One: Retell
Can you re-tell the stories?
Part Two: Open up the Stories
Ask questions about the stories. How are they similar? Different? Which one do you like more? Why? So many questions to ask. This is called opening up the stories with questions. This is also called Analysis.
Part Three: My Experiences
What are the themes in the stories? How do they relate to your life? Can you tell a “My Experience” story that relates to these two stories? This is called CONNECTING with the Story.
TO DO: Meet in your group. Take notes. Share ideas. Make sure you complete Parts One, Two and Three.
Imagine: This is your final exam. Could your group have a 30 minute discussion about these two stories?
Where: Find an empty classroom. Go to the Relax Corner. Go to the Library. Find a place where you can discuss the stories with your group. When ready come back to classroom and meet with me and I will help you.
