Dr. Patrick Lewis and the importance of story telling in classrooms.
The basic principle of our mind is by story. There is a beginning, a middle, and an end.
Teachers need to understand their own personal story, which is embeded in their values and beliefs. Do I have a story? What parts of my life would make up my story?
All students have their own story, how can teachers discover the story of their students without intruding on their lives?
What are the benefits of sharing stories?
How does the perspective of the teacher change in the eyes of their students when they share their personal stories with the class? Can we insert a chapter of our lives into the story of student's?
Story is a powerful thing, why? What is the opposite of a story?
What's the purpose of thinking about this semester as a story?
Do we put ourselves in the middle of stories? How could we use storytelling as an educator? Do I use it now? Can you control what people understand from a story? Is it important that we control what they get out of a story? Why aren't we using story more often? What is the truth? Who is the maker of the truth? What is it that we hold onto as being the truth? Is the truth just an interpretation? If there is no truth, then what is the point of learning?
