I have also found out hat the children can tell the story in their own words without memorizing it, which is great because I think that then, they have really internalized the structure of the story. I really like to be able to hear the children tell their own story, as you have in your website. Thanks for sharing the way you do things.VP Canohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17777381554911319906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506376815567474741.post-76032464797880065922009-02-18T20:52:00.000-08:002009-02-18T20:52:00.000-08:00Interactive web comics are a great way to engage a...Interactive web comics are a great way to engage and motivate children to create storyboards. <BR/><BR/>If you're interested in creating comics online, check out <A HREF="http://pixton.com" REL="nofollow">Pixton</A> - an award-winning website where you create comics without having to draw.<BR/><BR/>Design every aspect of your character, and move it into any pose you want.

I ...It is nice to see someone using this technique! I use a similar storyboard technique teaching children how to tell stories. They start with the text of a folktale or fable, create a storyboard or story map, and then put away the text, and use their page to "explain" their story. After a few times explaining the action in the story, they slip into telling the story in their own words, and eventually can tell it without the storyboard, and without having memorized the text.<BR/><BR/>You can listen to the result of some of this at:<BR/><A HREF="http://holycrosselementary.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">http://holycrosselementary.blogspot.com</A>Dale Jarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534516740231166831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506376815567474741.post-22034111693377259202009-01-31T11:52:00.000-08:002009-01-31T11:52:00.000-08:00Dear Ella thank you for the comment.

I agree with you that it should definitely be tackled (I certainly feel that stories are often the best place to deal with difficult subjects) but within the confines of an hour and with such a range of kids that must be so hard.<BR/>I can't think of any appropriate story that does justice to it though - or is simple enough. Hmm.<BR/>When I was very young my mother my mother made up a story about it to simplify it down, about a man who hated all people with brown hair and brown eyes (like I say: really simplistic!), and she ended with 'And guess what colour his hair and eyes were?' It made a massive impact on me, and definitely started me off thinking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757506410566282083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506376815567474741.post-1799519421419818412009-01-02T18:21:00.000-08:002009-01-02T18:21:00.000-08:00Hi DocThanks for your encouraging comments.

Using the programme we were able to showcase the kids' work in a professional manner...in fact, the National Library exhibited some of the material in their Graphic Novel exhibition last May. Glad to see your results.michaelwilliamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928547077231030719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506376815567474741.post-55920576377271025302008-12-21T06:03:00.000-08:002008-12-21T06:03:00.000-08:00It would be nice is people who have participated i...It would be nice is people who have participated in the DigiStory pilot or experience would comment.VP Canohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17777381554911319906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506376815567474741.post-84491907965979618922008-12-20T08:35:00.000-08:002008-12-20T08:35:00.000-08:00I agree with your concluding paragraph very much -...I agree with your concluding paragraph very much - it's very nicely put. As for Julles' chart, I also disagree with the 'consume once' vs 'play many times' division, as that is not my experience of narrative at all. In fact, one of my favourite things about it is how enduring it it, and how retelling and rehearing (and rereading and rewatching) is so enjoyable and (like you say) brings different things to the foreground each time.<BR/>I'm really excited about this blog!<BR/>Cheers,<BR/> EllaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757506410566282083noreply@blogger.com
