My Stressful life Mr. Jiggers in 1993 to 1996( because I was eaten by jiggers) (refer this link to know what I am talking about.) what you see in the pics is how much they ate me. https://www.jimnduruchi.com/jiggers/ Beating up: This is related to financial desperacy and a parent is trying to avoid the kids from bothering him.

What is STSA?? Story Telling and Story Acting activity STSA STUDY What is STSA?? Story Telling and Story Acting activity

How was it conducted Read a book Try to change voice tones to represent different characters in the book (This helps the kids to like the story, follow and pay attention and comprehend ) Ask them questions about the story hard Ask then questions that requires them to think

Appreciate even when the answer is wrong, but they should know its wrong When some one gives the right answer, sing a song to praise them or clap in a special way for them

DRAWING WITH CRAYONS Ask if any one would like to tell a story collect stories as others continue drawing Underline characters in the story as the author watch you do this! Drawing with crayons helps the other kids stay focused and silent

PLAY THE STORIES We need Play ground (triangle) Read the story of each individual aloud Let the author pick who s/he want to play like a certain character in his/her story. Read the story again (slow!) Each character will play his/her role

Do the same to every story DONE

How does it help the kids Kids tell stories about what happens in their lives Creativity (because of imagination) Cooperation and Associating with other children Openness Creates relation ship btn kids/ making friends Confidence in the kids Reading culture
