Guest Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am having a major mind block! I am in the process of writing a 2000 word assignment on the contribution of storytelling to the development of young children's emoitional, intellectual, spiritual, cultural and social needs. Which I have approx 1400 words done so far. Would you put reference/information in from the stories themselves. eg ~ A story which could deal with this is **** or A story I have used/told to children is**** also with regards to social needs, is this things such as bullying/divorce/moving home or am I on the wrong track altogether. Please help x
Guest Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I would phrase it as 'the contribution of storytelling to young children's emoitional, intellectual, spiritual, cultural and social development', and miss out the needs bit. Yes I would add a reference or two as examples of such books. One I used recently to help a child understand the death of his dog and his own bereavement was about a Badger but I can't remember the complete title. There are also great story books to help children understand the concept of sustainability.

Guest Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Thank you both for your replies. I am still plodding on with the assignment and not getting very far.
SueFinanceManager Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Have you looked at the FSF articles to see if some may be of use (Click 'Articles' in blue navagation bar running down left hand side of screen) Found these; Storytelling Beginning with Books Activity Support loads of activities based around books as starting point....might be some useful phrases etc here Good luck
Guest Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Yes I would add a reference or two as examples of such books. One I used recently to help a child understand the death of his dog and his own bereavement was about a Badger but I can't remember the complete title. I don't really have anything to add to the original question I'm afraid, but I'm guessing the book you used was Badger's Parting Gifts, a very lovely, if quite sad story about a badger who leaves his friends gifts to remember him by when he dies.
