**The articles are located on the Resources and Materials page of the course under “Readings”.
Do research using the website and article above, the texts, or articles and websites that you find, for information to answer the questions above.
Next– Explain how you would integrate storytelling into your teaching.
This should include three specific activities. Be specific, detailed and thorough in your subject matter and the storytelling activities you would use.
After your reading and research, write a 2-page paper that answers the questions. The information you include should be detailed and thorough and include all main points. Write and save your paper in a Word document and then upload your saved document here.
