R-A Chpt 11: Storytelling

This chapter talks about how to use storytelling, drama and role play in the language classroom. The author gives examples of different types of activities you could do with different age groups and proficiency level. I honestly don't see myself using most of the story telling activities she suggested in a high school classroom, but I did like the role play situations she explained, and how the teacher can include students of many different levels in the same role play if she takes on a leading role and adjusts the input for each student so they will be able to understand and participate on their individual level. Also, in this chapter I could really tell that this book seems to be written for ELL teachers, more so than in other chapters. However, I still found it to be helpful and I could see how the activities could be adapted to the foreign language classroom.
