Viewers’ Guides

We cover a lot of ground in this series, and the Viewers’ Guides will help you keep track of your questions and ideas.

In Befalling we talk about collecting stories. How can we use questions to help children think about their stories? What are they trying to do with their stories? Click here to download Befalling’s Viewer’s Guide.

In Behappening, we move on to connecting stories. How do we help children connect their ideas, thoughts and emotions to the ideas, thoughts and emotions of others? When their stories contain misconceptions or misunderstandings, how do we incorporate corrections into our curriculum, while encouraging problem-solving and creative thinking?

In Becoming & Was, we bring it all together and call it nurturing stories. When children tell stories that make us uncomfortable, what should we do? How can adults help children learn to balance their impulses with the needs of the larger community? How do we ask and answer questions about our own teaching and learning stories?
