Once Upon a Time: Using Children’s Stories to Present First-person Accounts

• In Event: G.I.F.T.S. Session III

Abstract

Students often have difficulty presenting first-person information in a compelling and organized manner. This exercise uses children's books to help students deliver confident and memorable first-person accounts. The hands-on nature of the activities engages the three primary learning styles: visual learners learn by seeing, auditory learners learn by listening, and kinesthetic learners learn by doing.
