The Storyteller’s Toolbox and Excerpt 4 First Read

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

It's story time! Scholars take a look through the eyes of a storyteller as the teacher reads aloud The People Could Fly. They also listen as the story is played on video. Learners then answer questions about the reader's facial expressions and voice before adding their ideas to the Storyteller’s Toolbox anchor chart.
