Download or read book Using Story to Enrich Learning and Teaching written by Jennifer A. Moon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Story is everywhere in human lives and cultures and it features strongly in the processes of teaching and learning. Story can be called narrative, case study, critical incident, life history, anecdote, scenario, illustration or example, creative writing, storytelling; it is a unit of communication, it is in the products of the media industries, in therapy and in our daily acts of reflecting. Stories are 'told' in many ways - they are spoken, written, filmed, mimed or acted, presented as cartoons and in new media formats and through all these, they are associated with both teaching and learning processes but in different ways and at different levels. As a result of growing interest and simultaneous confusion about story, it is timely to untangle the various meanings of story so that we can draw out and extend its value and use. Using Story aims to clarify what we mean by story, to seek out where story occurs in education and life and to explore the processes by which we learn from story. In this way the book intends to ‘bring story into the open’ and improve its use. Building on her wealth of experience in the field, Jenny Moon explores the theory of story and demonstrates both its current uses and new ways in which to enrich and enliven teaching, learning and research processes. Ideal for anyone involved in education, personal or professional development or with a more general interest in story, the book begins by considering the range of what is meant by story, and then considers the theory behind the meanings. In the large final part of the book, Jenny provides a rich patchwork of different uses of story in education that cut across forms of story, story activities, disciplines and applications all of which will aid the use of story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A useful confidence-building tool for those whose key aim is to find their inner power' Edge Online Being more assertive just got easier Much has been spoken about the assertive communication style, not all of it complimentary! Many people confuse it with being aggressive, bamboozling others into submission and getting what you want, despite what they want. However, assertive communication is not domineering; it's just a means of saying what you mean, meaning what you say and allowing others to do the same. Taking the decision to adopt assertive behaviour will mark the beginning of a new way of life: a way of life where you make your own decisions and choices without feeling guilty, and where you are in control, not those around you. By working through some simple steps, and by testing the techniques out in a 'safe' environment, you will soon become confident in your new-found powers of assertion. You will be able to command the respect of others, achieve your personal and professional goals and raise your self-esteem. The steps to assertive behaviour you will cover in this book are: - Understand the different styles of communication and the effect they have. - Identify your own style(s) of communication. - Know your own worth and the worth of others. - Be clear about your goals. - Be prepared to learn from your successes and failures. - Be flexible, and don't expect too much. - Learn to listen. Each of the seven chapters in Assertiveness In A Week covers a different aspect of being assertive: - Sunday: Preparing the foundations - Monday: Creating winning scenarios - Tuesday: Dealing with the 'negative' - Wednesday: Creating a positive impression - Thursday: Being assertive in public - Friday: Body language - Saturday: Personal power
