Potential Residency Project
Storytelling: Do You See What I See?
Audience:
Elementary School Students – Grades 1-3
Elementary School Students – Grades 4-5
Middle School Students – 6-8
Lesson Plans
The focus of these stories will be for social and emotional learning. The telling of the stories recognizes the importance of students adjusting as they re-enter the classroom space after the 2019-2020 and 2021 virtual/in class hybrid experiences.
Students, like the characters in the stories, are learning to practice self–care while being part of family and community units. Opportunities await them and they see them as they adjust their lens.
These stories can be applied in any classroom setting and will contribute to the goal of classroom management.
Note: If applied in a science classroom, an additional layer will be added into the stories to align.
Stories come from African Diaspora, Indigenous Americans (e.g. Cherokee and Navajo), Appalachia and Asia
