4.4 The teacher role in teaching story retelling
According to Isbell (2002: 28), a teacher can use retelling to encourage students in learning by using their imagination, explaining their ideas, and students using the ideas to transfer to the plot, settings, and characters of the story. Teachers and parents are important to encourage young learners in retelling by reading to them or a teacher is a strategy to promote the related stories comprehension and explicate vocabulary (Gambrell & Dromsky, 2000; Geva & Olson, 1983; Soundy, 1993). A teacher and parent scaffold to children from the storybook reading and this includes asking open-ended questions, asking students to make predictions, and engaging a child in elaboration and explication. …show more content…

Children who have grown up in a good environment of rich knowledge in reading, which is keen to read and they are more likely to read since they're young until reader become successful(Clark and Durkin. 1966; 1984). One reason is clearly, the rational behavior of the adults around the children such as parents and teachers could be a sample in story retelling for children. Story retelling is to provide a model for children and need to do it better in the processing of expressing. Teachers can use voice to show the dialogue by different activities. Story retelling is similar to the magnificent presentation so teachers can help children by retelling it slowly by animation. Then, teachers can observe how the teaching is conducted by videotape or record and make the critical teaching …show more content…

First, the teacher begins the class with an introduction to the lesson objective. A teacher continues to explain narratives or short stories by using chalk talks, prop stories, and puppet stories which are the alternative techniques that use in each lesson. Second, students learn story structures which are consisted of plot, point of view, setting, characteristic, and ending, and students begin doing the story's mind mapping, role play, and discussion.

    During the lesson the teacher is allowing the students to discuss and think about what is occurring in the story. The teacher is implementing this by allowing and allocating time for debriefing in between the story. By doing thing the teacher gives the students the opportunity to use their KWL Charts throughout the lesson just in case something has been answered, or if a new idea were to appear. Moreover the students are also allowed to use their writing journal for note taking during this story. This allows the students to go back in their journals to recall events and important

    Sipe highlights five different expressive engagements—dramatizing, talking back, inserting, and taking over—that children portray during story book read- alouds. He believes that teachers must encourage these behaviors in children because it shows participation and it inspires children to take over the story. Some of these expressive engagements are reasonable while some serve as a disfavor to children’s learning. On page 482, he gives instruction on how teachers can implement the expressive engagements in their classroom. Sipe claims, “the first type of expressive engagement, dramatizing, can be encouraged through dramatic reenactment” (481). This can be problematic for fairy tales such as “The Juniper Tree”. This story about a stepmother killing her stepson by beheading him then cooking him in a stew, and a little boy turned into a singing bird who then later kills his murderer by “…dropping a millstone on her head and crush[ing] her to death” (252) can be gruesome for children to dramatize. Another expressive engagement that Sipe mentions is “inserting”. Sipe claims that if children are encouraged to insert themselves or other people around them into the story that they are reading, they can exercise their power over the tales. Through this process, Sipe claims “children in process of becoming one with the story, to the extent of assuming their stance as fellow characters with equal agency and presence in the story” (478). The story of the little boy in “The Juniper Tree” suggest a different view about mechanically inserting characters in a story. The little boy must learn about what each of his family members did to contribute to his death. When the little boy died, he did not know anything about the causes of his death and the things that happened after. He had to learn that his “mother, she slew [him]”, his father

    1. Growing up we all heard stories. Different types of stories, some so realistic, we cling onto them farther into our lives. Stories let us see and even feel the world in different prespectives, and this is becuase of the writter or story teller.

  • Descriptive Narrative: Shooting An Elephant And The Lottery

    748 Words  | 2 Pages

    A successful descriptive narrative displays the necessary information for a reader to explain or develop speculations within the material. Narrating the text of a story, told through one or more narrators, allows the audience to connect with the feelings of the narrator. A description includes imagery for the audience’s recognition. Furthermore, descriptive narratives have a purpose and are there for a reason. “Shooting an Elephant” and “The Lottery” are both descriptive narratives. Descriptive narratives show a clearer understanding of the passage; therefore, the stronger text is “Shooting an Elephant” because of its detail and the plot’s conflict.

    While I believe every child is a reader, I do not believe every child will be enthralled with reading all the time. All students have the capability to read and enjoy reading, but just like any other hobby, interest will vary from student to student. The students in my classroom will be encouraged in their reading, be provided with choice, taught how books can take you into another world but, my students will not be forced to read. This paper will illustrate my philosophy of reading through the theories I relate to, the way I want to implement reading and writing curriculum, and the methods I will use motivate my students to read and help them become literate.

  • Narrative vs. Descriptive Writing

    996 Words  | 2 Pages

    A narrative writing shares a sequence of events leading to a point, moral lesson, or idea that is gathered from the narrative to make the essay uniquely meaningful to the reader. Since narrative writing can be true to life or fantasies of the imagination, the unique art of creating different realities for the reader experience is quite entertaining to readers. Narrative writhing brings the readers into the world of the story teller by using creative, detail oriented event or an alternate reality the narrator wishes to express during the plot of the story. Narrative writing can be a short story or the length of a novel depending on how short or long the situation or argument of the story may be. Any well written narrative needs to have a well written plot; a sequence of events that unfold to hold the reader’s attention through the length of the story.

  • Creative Writing Importance

    1050 Words  | 3 Pages

    Reading and writing are basic skills for Americans, and children learn them early. But while they learn how to read and write, these skills aren’t often connected to the emotional, curious, storytelling nature of children. They learn their letters and they read their textbooks and sometimes they learn to diagram sentences; they learn Western plot maps and the components of literature and the types of words. Sometimes they learn to hate reading. Often they learn that writing is for school. A horrifying amount of the time, they never learn to write for themselves. But every child is a storyteller, and writing creatively is an integral part of writing education. Though often overlooked in favor of traditional literacy, creative writing is a vital component of children’s education.
