Crack-A-Story will evolve over time. That is one of its beauties: you have the chance to grow with it. At any time please send me suggestions about the types of resources and topics you would like me to include in my workshops. We are all part of the storytelling community and we need to learn from each other, no matter who we are or where we are.
These videos provide a broad, but far from exhaustive example of some of the material I take into classrooms. Often, when the circumstances allow, I like to include pieces that enable students to identify with their surroundings and lives. On other occasions I use images and themes that are far beyond the students’ front doors or gates. These are used in conjunction with written and oral exercises. Yep, some pieces are a little wacky, and others are more serious. Either way, they are aimed at connecting, engaging, inspiring, informing and leading the way towards greater learning. Oh, and did I mention FUN?
