Grade Lvl: PI Author: Nayeri, Daniel
Length: 0 Copyright: 2015
Introducing storytelling package including a 144-page book (small paperback) paired with a collection of 20 six-sided, beautifully illustrated storytelling cubes that make it easy for any imaginative child to start creating wonderful stories. Roll the blocks to set the imagination for some creative writing opportunities. The book is a guide to the principles of creative storytelling. It covers the essential elements like conflict--that thing that no one likes in real life, but without which no story could ever start--characters, motivation, dialogue, theme, and, of course, the climax. As you turn the pages, you'll be prompted to roll the story blocks. And that's when the magic starts to happen. The blocks are coded by color, each loosely associated with a part of speech. A simple exercise about motivation, for example, asks the reader to roll the blocks and find one red block (person or animal) "who wanted nothing more in this world than to" one green block (action). Depending on the outcome, the reader might end up telling a tale of a cowboy who just wanted to dance or a mummy who wanted to race cars. How to Tell a Story combines the cleverness of Mad Libs with the compelling fun of storytelling cubes. Its exercises and games will have readers mastering the basics of storytelling while exercising their creative muscles. And who knows where that journey will end? Supports ELA writing standards for learners as well as a fun makerspace option. IL 2-5. |

B 96768B 96768 Hungry Mind: The Origins of Curiosity in Childhood
Grade Lvl: T Author: Engel, Susan
Length: 232 Copyright: 2015
The author claims that despite American education’s recent mania for standardized tests, testing misses what really matters about learning: the desire to learn in the first place. The Hungry Mind is an exploration of what curiosity is, how it can be measured, how it develops in childhood, and how it can be fostered in school. Children naturally possess an active interest in knowing more about the world around them. But what begins as a robust trait becomes more fragile over time, and is shaped by experiences with parents, teachers, peers, and the learning environment. Susan Engel highlights the centrality of language and question-asking as crucial tools for expressing curiosity. She also uncovers overlooked forms of curiosity, such as gossip―an important way children satisfy their interest in other people. Although curiosity leads to knowledge, it can stir up trouble, and schools too often have an incentive to squelch it in favor of compliance and discipline. Balanced against the interventions of hands-on instructors and hovering parents, Engel stresses the importance of time spent alone, which gives children a chance to tinker, collect, read about the things that interest them, and explore their own thoughts. In addition to providing a theoretical framework for the psychology of curiosity, The Hungry Mind offers educators practical ways to put curiosity at the center of the classroom and encourage children’s natural eagerness to learn. |
