Hi Dale and all,
You may certainly share my story to raise awareness of what goes on in real
classrooms. The oral task was to retell a fairy tale e.g. Cinderella in the
first person by taking on the role of the bad character e.g. stepmother.
The tale must be told to show a more positive side to the baddy's character
and role. Pretty difficult for some of my intellectually impaired
students!!!!!
Regards,
Kim Cooney

Kim,
I am always distraught when I see stories that explain why our college
freshman are SO dysfunctional when they enter their first public
speaking classes. With your permission, I'd like to share this story
with my Speech Communication colleagues on a different listserv. As a
discipline, we pay virtually no attention to K-6 education, and only a
tiny bit more to 7-12. Maybe your example will raise awareness a tiny
bit.
