A book with vision
Customer Rating:
I am a storyteller and trainer. This book does what some other good books don't quite do in terms of teaching and showing all of us how to integrate stories effectively into class curriculum. I wish that all teachers and student teachers would study this book and implement it. When I am teaching, this book easily helps me find and integrate a teaching story for the lesson that does wonders for student comprehension and involves that key ingredient, joy. If you already know everything about storytelling and teaching, the bibliography alone makes this book worth the price. If you are a teacher teaching other teachers how to teach, this would make a good text book.
