Stories and Telling through Time and Cultures
Grade 1, Interdisciplinary
Description of Unit
Storytelling is immersed in history. It has been used over millennia to relate important and significant events and to explain why or how things happen. In this task, first-grade students will explore storytelling as related to diverse cultures and the impact stories have had over time in the understanding of historical events. Students will also discover how stories have been utilized to explain how things came to be, as in Rudyard Kipling’s collection, Just So Stories. Kipling’s collection includes: “How the Whale Got His Throat,” “How the First Letter Was Written,” and “The Crab That Played with The Sea,” which explains the ebb and flow of tidal action. Students will also become storytellers by creating and telling stories and organizing a Storytelling Celebration to tell their stories.
This guide links the Stories and Telling through Time and Cultures unit to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for first graders. Stories and Telling through Time and Cultures is an interdisciplinary unit with connections to math, English language arts, social studies, and science disciplines. For example, students will make inferences and draw conclusions about theme and genre in different cultural contexts, as outlined in the English Language Arts and Reading TEKS. Students will also explain the way folktales and legends reflect the beliefs, customs, language, and traditions of communities, as described in the History and Social Studies TEKS. The following document includes the applicable TEKS and the details of the Stories and Telling through Time and Cultures unit. The final section of this document presents the applicable Texas College and Career Readiness Standards adopted by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) on January 24, 2008.
Descripción de la unidad
La narración está inmersa en la historia. Se ha usado por miles de años para relatar eventos importantes y significativos y para explicar por qué o cómo pasan las cosas. En esta tarea, los estudiantes de primer grado van a explorar la narración con relación a diversas culturas y el impacto que han tenido las historias a través del tiempo en la comprensión de eventos históricos. Los estudiantes también van a descubrir cómo han sido utilizadas las historias para explicar cómo se dieron las cosas, como en la colección de Rudyard Kipling: Just So Stories (Precisamente así) La colección de Kipling incluye: “How the Whale Got His Throat” (Cómo la ballena consiguió su garganta); “How the First Letter Was Written” (Cómo se escribió la primera carta), y “The Crab That Played with The Sea” (El cangrejo que jugó con el mar), la cual explica la bajamar y el flujo de la acción de las mareas. Los estudiantes también se convertirán en narradores creando y contando historias y organizando una Celebración de narración para contar sus historias.
Esta guía conecta la unidad Historias y relatos de épocas y culturas con los Conocimientos y destrezas esenciales de Texas (TEKS) para los estudiantes de primer grado. Historias y relatos de épocas y culturas es una unidad interdisciplinaria conectada a las disciplinas de Matemáticas, Artes del Lenguaje en inglés, Estudios Sociales y Ciencias. Por ejemplo, los estudiantes van a hacer inferencias y sacar conclusiones acerca del tema y género en diferentes contextos culturales, como lo describen los TEKS de Artes del Lenguaje y Lectura en inglés. Los estudiantes también van a explicar la forma en que los cuentos populares y las leyendas reflejan las creencias, costumbres, lenguaje y tradiciones de las comunidades, tal como se describe en los TEKS de Historia y Estudios Sociales. El siguiente documento incluye los TEKS correspondientes y los detalles de la unidad Historias y relatos de épocas y culturas. La última sección de este documento presenta los Estándares de Preparación para la Universidad, Carreras Técnicas y el Mundo Laboral de Texas (Texas College and Career Readiness Standards) adoptados por la Mesa Directiva Coordinadora de la Educación Superior en Texas (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board -THECB) el 24 de enero de 2008.
Phase I. Learning Experiences
- Read the book That’s Good! That’s Bad! by Margery Cuyler to the students. (You can also find several read-aloud versions of the book on YouTube.) Read the story rapidly or in a monotone voice with no inflection. Then, read the story with enthusiasm, using effective storytelling techniques. Discuss with the students the elements of the story that made it interesting and fun. Begin a class chart of effective story elements and storytelling techniques.
- Display the follow items or pictures, or choose your own suitable items for the learning experience:
- Hat
- Apple
- Ball
- Giraffe (picture or stuffed toy)
- Book
- Box of crayons
- Small pillow
- Paintbrush
- Plastic bowl
- Introduce the origin of stories by reading A Story, A Story by Gail E. Haley to the students. Ask the following questions:
- What is the purpose of a story?
- Why do people tell stories?
- What types of stories do you know?
- How are stories communicated?
- How has storytelling changed over time?
- What similar patterns do you see in stories from various cultures?
- What is your story?
- Show the students “Talking Twin Babies: Part 2” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JmA2ClUvUY). After viewing the video, allow time for students to discuss the elements of storytelling that they saw. The students will then recreate the conversation between the twins in a story format.
- Show the students “Two Frogs on a Log” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cc-7sEQydQ). The students will create their own versions of the video by substituting the frogs for other animal classifications (e.g., birds, mammals, fish). The students could utilize a stop-motion animation application that would allow them to use different mediums to create their own version of “Two Frogs on a Log.”
- Introduce the kinds of stories that people tell: legends, myths, fables, trickster tales, tall tales, fairy tales, and folktales. Plan a visit to the school library and visit section 398.2 (the folktale section). Have students look at the books in this section and consider some questions:
- What types of books are located in this section?
- What do they have in common?
- Can the titles of the books be used to categorize the books?
Students will arrange the books by genre, if appropriate. They will explore the different genres in groups and discuss the elements or characteristics of a fairy tale, a tall tale, a folktale, etc. To help students remember the library location, display Heather Forest’s song, “Ode to 398.2” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A3Wq6KW_1Fo&list=PLbpvOUQ2Ed5MPHWBbcI94dci8sPzYW7ZQ&index=69.
- Once students become familiar with the kinds of stories that people tell, provide opportunities for them to watch and listen to professional storytellers. Story Bee has many stories from which to choose (www.storybee.org). “The Frog in the Milk Pail,” as told by Mike Lockett, is a short tale that could be used to introduce the students to storytelling (http://www.storybee.org/4through9/4through9.html).
- Invite a storyteller to the school to tell stories. The Texas Commission on the Arts provides grants to schools for touring artists. A 2018–20 touring roster of storytellers is available to select from (http://www.arts.texas.gov/artroster/roster/show/discipline?disc=storytelling).
- Read the stories from Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling to students. A variety of animated versions of the stories can be found online to complement the readings (https://www.youtube.com/results?q=rudyard+kipling+stories). Printed versions of the stories are found in bookstores.
- After exploring Just So Stories, the students will create their own Just So Story and animal using the free online version of Build-a-Beast (https://www.agame.com/game/build-a-beast). The students will name their created animal using a portmanteau. Through the story, they will relate its specific characteristics, habitat, and basic needs.
- Allow students opportunities to explore different versions of the same story from various cultures and/or how the same story has changed over time. The students may also explore writing a Cinderella story related to their own generation or from the viewpoint of the prince or one of the stepsisters. Examples of multicultural Cinderella stories may be found through the American Library Association (http://www.ala.org/offices/resources/multicultural). This is an opportunity for students to explore the concepts of multiple perspectives, unanswered questions, and cross disciplines.
Each item will be accompanied by a large piece of butcher paper divided in half to make a T-chart. Label the left half of the T-chart, Good, and the right half, Bad. Assign students to an object, and ask them to think about something that is good about the object and something that is bad about the object. Students can draw or write their answers in the appropriate column. This activity may span several days if students only spend a short amount of time each day on the T-charts. In this way, students will have more time to think about each of the objects and seek other perspectives from their families and friends. Once the charts have been completed, the class will begin work on a giant That’s Good! That’s Bad! book. Remind students of the elements of a good story and begin to create the class book. Use the ideas generated by the students and a white sheet of poster board for each page of the book. Further enhance the activity by assigning students different roles in the creation of the book (e.g., authors, illustrators, editors, publishers, printers, binders, marketers). The activity could also incorporate the profit margins and cost to produce the book.
Establish a storytelling routine in the classroom by adopting STORYtime! This strategy can be used whenever students need time to digest information or transition between learning activities. Students will Stop, Turn to the person nearest to them, Orate a story to one another, Relate their appreciation, and say You’re Welcome! Students are building the capacity to sequence ideas and communicate effectively. Encourage the students to use phrases like “Once upon a time” and “They lived happily ever after,” as used in traditional folktales and fairy tales.
Additionally, “The Crab That Played with the Sea” may be used for students to compare tidal actions as explained in the story versus how they are explained scientifically.
Phase II. Independent Research
A. Research process
- Selecting a topic. Students will select the type of story they would like to create after researching the different types and purposes of stories.
- Asking guiding questions. After selecting the type of story, students will think about questions and/or answers that the story will provide:
- What is the purpose of my story?
- What type of story is best suited to relate the purpose of the story effectively?
- What elements of the writing process do I need to use in my story?
- What information is needed to write my story?
- Creating a research proposal. Students will research the specific type of story chosen and the elements associated with that type. Is it a fable? A legend? A folktale? A fairy tale? A tall tale? The students will then reflect on the type of story chosen and research supporting relevant information, such as the beliefs, cultures, language, and traditions of communities.
B. The product
- Each student will learn a story in one of the traditional genres and retell the story after providing the plot as an introduction. The story could be told through the eyes of a different culture, character, etc. Additionally, storytelling applications such as Sock Puppets may be used to recreate the story. The students can also create costumes and props appropriate for the telling of the story.
- Students who have participated in the task will develop and organize a Storytelling Celebration. At the Storytelling Celebration, the students will share their stories with other classes or the entire school. Students will be expected to plan the event while considering the following elements:
- Time
- Place
- Advertising
- Scheduling
- Expenditures
- Preparation time
- Purpose of the Event: How will the students showcase their stories and the purpose of storytelling? To procure ideas, the students could visit storytelling festival websites. Some examples include the following:
- https://www.idahoconservation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/FullStorytellingGuide.pdf
- The Children’s Festival (http://www.storytellingguild.org/childrens-festival.html)
- The National Storytelling Festival (http://www.storytellingcenter.net/events/national-storytelling-festival/)
- The Lone Star Storytelling Festival (http://www.lonestarstories.org/)
- Event Activities
- Storytelling
- Student storytellers as “workshop” presenters for attendees
- Student musicians
- Story art projects
- Story swaps: Student storytellers will meet together in a roundtable and tell stories to one another in front of an audience. The audience is then encouraged to swap stories as well.
- Planning the Event
- Event organizers (students)
- Student-generated advertisements
- Materials for each of the selected events
- Locations and times
- Coordination with the school librarian, other classes, the community library, etc.
- Preparing for the Event
- This Storytelling Celebration could be an event that is part of the class culture for the whole year. It relates to multiple disciplines, various perspectives, the TEKS associated with learning and telling stories, and the conventions of writing. The Celebration could showcase the students’ learning throughout the year.
- The following site provides questions that the students will ask as they organize their event: https://www.idahoconservation.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/FullStorytellingGuide.pdf
- Evaluating the Event
- Attendee feedback
In the organization of a Storytelling Celebration, the following should be considered:
C. Communication
Students will communicate learning by telling their original story using storytelling techniques. Students will also effectively provide the basis of the story, the type of story, and the purpose of the story in a written and/or illustrated format.
D. A completed project consists of
- a completed story;
- a performance of the story at the Storytelling Celebration;
- participation in the planning of the Storytelling Celebration;
- a completed “Storytelling Celebration Evaluation”; and
- a video of the Storytelling Celebration that includes clips from the planning and developing stages. The videographer could be the teacher or a student who is part of the event.
Fase I. Experiencias de aprendizaje
- Lea el libro That’s Good! That’s Bad! (¡Eso es bueno! ¡Eso es malo!) de Margery Cuyler para los estudiantes. (También puede encontrar varias versiones leídas en voz alta en YouTube). Lea la historia rápidamente o en una voz monótona sin inflexiones. Luego, lea la historia con entusiasmo, usando técnicas de narración efectivas. Discuta con los estudiantes los elementos de la historia que la hicieron interesante y divertida. Comience una tabla de la clase de elementos de la historia y técnicas de narración efectivos.
- Muestre los siguientes artículos o imágenes o escoja sus propios artículos apropiados para la experiencia de aprendizaje:
- Sombrero
- Manzana
- Pelota
- Jirafa (imagen o muñeco de peluche)
- Libro
- Caja de crayones
- Almohada pequeña
- Pincel
- Tazón de plástico
- Dé una introducción acerca del origen de las historias leyendo A Story, A Story (Una historia, una historia) de Gail E. Haley para los estudiantes. Haga las siguientes preguntas:
- ¿Cuál es el propósito de una historia?
- ¿Por qué las personas cuentan historias?
- ¿Qué tipos de historias conocen?
- ¿Cómo se comunican las historias?
- ¿Cómo ha cambiado la narración con el tiempo?
- ¿Qué patrones similares ven en las historias de diversas culturas?
- ¿Cuál es su historia?
- Muestre a los estudiantes “Talking Twin Babies: Part 2” (Bebés gemelos parlantes: Parte 2) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JmA2ClUvUY). Después de ver el video, dé tiempo a los estudiantes para que discutan los elementos de la narración que vieron. Luego, los estudiantes van a recrear la conversación entre los gemelos en forma de una historia.
- Muestre a los estudiantes “Two Frogs on a Log” (Dos ranas en un tronco) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cc-7sEQydQ). Los estudiantes van a crear sus propias versiones del video sustituyendo a las ranas por otras clases de animales (p. ej., pájaros, mamíferos, peces). Los estudiantes podrían utilizar una aplicación de animación cuadro por cuadro que permita usar diferentes medios para crear su propia versión de “Dos ranas en un tronco”.
- Haga una introducción sobre los tipos de historias que las personas cuentan: leyendas, mitos, fábulas, cuentos de embaucadores, cuentos fantásticos, cuentos de hadas y cuentos populares. Planee una visita a la biblioteca de la escuela y visiten la sección 398.2 (la sección de cuentos populares). Pida a los estudiantes que observen los libros en esta sección y que consideres algunas preguntas:
- ¿Qué tipos de libros hay en esta sección?
- ¿Qué tienen en común?
- ¿Los títulos de los libros pueden usarse para clasificar los libros?
- Ya que los estudiantes estén familiarizados con los tipos de historias que las personas cuentan, provéales oportunidades para que vean y escuchen a narradores profesionales. Story Bee tiene muchas historias de las cuales elegir (www.storybee.org). “The Frog in the Milk Pail” (La rana en la cubeta de leche), contada por Mike Lockett, es un cuento corto que puede usarse para introducir a los estudiantes a la narración (http://www.storybee.org/4through9/4through9.html).
- Invite a un narrador a la escuela para que diga historias. La Comisión de Artes de Texas provee becas a escuelas para que inviten artistas. Una lista con la gira de narradores de 2016–2018 está disponible para seleccionarla en (http://www.arts.texas.gov/artroster/roster/show/discipline?disc=storytelling).
- Lea las historias de Precisamente así de Rudyard Kipling a los estudiantes. Una variedad de
versiones animadas de las historias puede encontrarse en línea para complementar las lecturas (https://www.youtube.com/results?q=rudyard+kipling+stories). En las librerías se encuentran versiones impresas de las historias.
Adicionalmente, se puede usar “The Crab That Played with the Sea” (El cangrejo que jugó con el mar) puede usarse para que los estudiantes comparen las acciones de la marea como se explica en la historia, con las explicaciones científicas. - Después de explorar Precisamente así, los estudiantes van a crear su propia historia de Precisamente así y su propio animal usando la versión gratuita en línea de Build-a-Beast (http://www.gamesxl.com/animal/build-a-beast). Los estudiantes van a nombrar el animal que crearon usando una voz compuesta. A través de la historia, van a relatar sus características, hábitat y necesidades básicas específicas.
- Brinde a los estudiantes oportunidades para que exploren diferentes versiones de la misma historia de varias culturas y/o cómo la misma historia ha cambiado con el tiempo. Los estudiantes también pueden explorar la escribiendo una historia de Cenicienta relatada para su propia generación o desde el punto de vista del príncipe o una de las hermanastras. Ejemplos de historias multiculturales de Cenicienta pueden encontrarse mediante la Asociación de Bibliotecas de Estados Unidos (http://www.ala.org/offices/resources/multicultural). Esta es una oportunidad para que los estudiantes exploren los conceptos de perspectivas múltiples, preguntas sin responder y disciplinas transversales.
Fase II. Investigación independiente
A. Proceso de investigación
- Seleccionando un tema. Después de investigar los diferentes tipos y propósitos de las historias, los estudiantes van a seleccionar el tipo de historia que les gustaría crear.
- Haciendo preguntas guía. Después de seleccionar el tipo de historia, los estudiantes van a pensar acerca de preguntas y/o respuestas que la historia va a generar:
- ¿Cuál es el propósito de mi historia?
- ¿Qué tipo de historia es más apropiado para relatar el propósito de la historia de manera eficaz?
- ¿Qué elementos del proceso de escritura debo usar en mi historia?
- ¿Qué información se necesita para escribir mi historia?
- Creando una propuesta de investigación. Los estudiantes van a investigar el tipo específico de historia seleccionado y los elementos relacionados con ese tipo de historia. ¿Es una fábula? ¿Una leyenda? ¿Un cuento popular? ¿Un cuento de hadas? ¿Un cuento fantástico? Luego, los estudiantes van a reflexionar sobre el tipo de historia seleccionado e investigarán información relevante de apoyo, tales como creencias, culturas, lenguaje y tradiciones de las comunidades.
B. El producto
- Cada estudiante va a aprender una historia dentro de uno de los géneros tradicionales y volverá a contar la historia después de proveer el argumento a manera de introducción. La historia podría decirse desde la perspectiva de una cultura diferente, un personaje diferente, etc. Adicionalmente, las aplicaciones de narración tales como Sock Puppets pueden usarse para recrear la historia. Los estudiantes también pueden crear disfraces y utilería apropiados para contar la historia.
- Los estudiantes que han participen de esta tarea desarrollarán y organizarán una Celebración de narración. En la Celebración de narración, los estudiantes van a compartir sus historias con otras clases o con toda la escuela. Se espera que los estudiantes planeen el evento a la vez que consideren los siguientes elementos:
- Tiempo
- Lugar
- Publicidad
- Programación
