ABSTRACT
This chapter is all about how the authors can design their instruction so that children come to learn that they have a storyteller inside of them. Some of the world's best storytellers share one other common trait they have faced hardship and are eager to share the lessons they've learned. Great storytellers have struggled in life and have turned their adversity into something meaningful to move others to action. There are countless examples of impacting storytellers using a three-part formula to make stories stronger. The story frames are designed as a tool to help you get to know your students and their stories and as a way for students to take to page as storytellers in a myriad of meaningful ways. One of the simplest ways to spark a storyteller voice in students is to have a daily image to talk about. Students get to imagine the life of the character beyond the photo as they develop their storyteller voice.
