Abstract | As educators struggle to find ways to engage students in literacy development and content area exploration, performance literacy is emerging as an important pedagogical tool. This article defines performance literacy as the process of teaching students to write and perform stories. The author lists the five major components in the development of performance literacy skills: (1) story creation using story mapping; (2) writing and drawing to help describe the story; (3) oral story delivery; (4) rehearsal, including evaluation and retelling; and (5) performance within the school and community. When students know they are publishing their writing for an audience instead of just for the teacher, their motivation increases and they produce higher quality work. This is equally true of storytelling. The students' audiences typically comprise peers, parents, and other school or community members. They know their storytelling is good; their peers have told them so. They hear applause and know some of the faces in the crowd. In this way, the students know that the crowd is telling them, "Thanks for the good story, well told," and the teacher knows that he or she has immersed students in a powerful literacy experience, one in which the students' literacy is lived through their own performance. It is an experience teachers and students are not likely to forget. (Contains 4 figures.) (ERIC). |
