Storytelling demo - September 19
You will do a storytelling demo with the class. Bring a storybook if you can, and I will prepare extra storybooks. A short storybook would be better. We will discuss techniques and prepare during class. You do not need to prepare extra activities and materials. You are not teaching a full lesson. You are only reading a story for young learners. Reference reading about selecting a book and storybook techniques.

Purpose: There are many teaching techniques, strategies, and activities associated with literacy teaching. Rather than me explaining them, I would prefer you to do the research and share with the class. Literacy Techniques examples:
