Corden, R. (2000) Literacy and Learning Through Talk: Strategies for the Primary Classroom BUCKINGHAM; Open University Press
Good chapter on 'exploratory talk'
Ideal chapter on 'storytelling'
'Through voice and eye gesture the listener is drawn into a story, woven into the tale as a participant, to feel anger, fear, despair and joy. Storytelling is interactive: it moves the listener back and forth from spectator to participant. The storyteller achieves this through inflection, emphasis, cadence, pace, pause and register.'
Could be most relevant in an autistic context?
- Eye contact
- Participation
