Story Building: A Practical Guide for Bringing the Power of Stories Into Classrooms

Beschreibung

Story Building: A Practical Guide for Bringing the Power of Stories into Classrooms and Communities represents over 30 years of teaching-through-story experiences of Professor Drew Kahn, his students and colleagues from around the globe. Originating in professional and educational theater, Professor Kahn brings the invaluable lessons of community building, conflict management and identity exploration out from rehearsal studios and into school classrooms, businesses and community organizations. Story Building is written as a follow-up to support the Anne Frank Project's story-based learning trainings where 'body first, brain second' is central to the process. Story Building assumes everyone matters, their stories matter that each of us has the responsibility to surface, develop and share our stories. This is how we improve our world, one story at a time.
