THE STORYCRAFTING METHOD & VIDEO

Monika Riihelä 2001

THE STORYCRAFTING METHOD - INCREASES CHILDREN'S PARTICIPATION

Go to the video: the version for fast connections (ADSL)
or the version for slow connections (ISDN)

(publ. on net 10.11.01)

With the Storycrafting method, children can be heard the way children want to be heard: children can choose the words, drawings, and acts they want to use to express themselves.

In Storycrafting you:

Ask the other person to narrate a story of free choice.
Write it down literally, in the same way that 
the teller expresses him/herself.
When the narrative is done, retell it,
and give the author the opportunity to make any changes.

The purpose is to make it clear to the child that the adult is specifically interested in the child's own story. The aim is to inspire the child to tell about his or her own world and thoughts. It is important to give the feeling that the children have a copyright on their work and that it is not only being used for the purposes of the adult.
