ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on a narrative intervention programme to enhance the understanding and facilitating the expression of narratives or stories in students with varied speech, language and communication needs in the later primary years and in secondary schools. It details the thirteenth session of the programme. In this session facilitator needs to read a story ending to the students and encourage comments on each one. They need to discuss how powerful, evocative and interesting each story ending is. They also get the students to compare and contrast each one, comparing, for example, the end of one type of story with another. This session provides some common fables with which the students may be familiar. Facilitator need to recap each fable and get students to suggest the main lessons, moral or message from each fable. After they have identified the message, students can identify the characters and different story elements.
