  Vivian Paley and
  The Boy Who Could Tell Stories


For teachers who have been intrigued by Vivian Gussin Paley's books about storytelling and story acting, this video is an excellent starting point. Begin with the basics (how to use masking tape to make a stage) and then watch the children use their stories to explore issues of empathy, intimacy, fairness, justice and fantasy.


This video shares additional ideas about storytelling and story acting. See the ways in which stories are used by children to discuss everything from boys in bathtubs to mean sisters. Paley once again shows us how stories help children begin to make sense of the world.


This video focuses on the issues of inclusion, justice and empathy, and illustrates some of the ways in which storytelling and story acting can strengthen communica-tion and build connections in the classroom.

A companion guide is available that gives additional information that is relevant to any or all of the Paley videos.
