STORYTELLING IN THE SECOND GRADE CLASSROOM

Storytelling in the Classroom

     
     Second grade students learned to tell stories to their classmates.  There are few teaching activities that provide more valuable learning opportunities than storytelling.  Speaking, listening, and retelling are important forms of communication.  Because the storyteller can use only his words and body movements to communicate his story, he must improvise and be creative.
