The choice of stories was commendable. In fact, I would like to use the stories in my own class. I would try to be as animate as the teller.
The story listening models were also well explained except that the visuals were not so clear. I also appreciate that the discussion was well organized that every bit of the presentation was informative. I appreciate that the course did not only focus on the knowledge and skill of story telling but also focused on the affect. Trust is indeed important in story listening.
