Narratives: Set The Scene
So many of my students do not provide orienting details at the start of their verbal narratives. This activity gives students practice at starting their stories with the details their listeners need: who is involved, where and when is it taking place, and what is going on.
Conversation Narratives: Set The Scene
This activity is an effective tool for teaching how to tell stories in a comprehensive and organized way for learners with attention deficit disorders, on the autism spectrum, or with any executive skill dysfunction struggles.
Many students with attention deficit disorders, on the autism spectrum, or with executive skill deficits struggle to respond to simple information requests, such as questions about their summer or internship experiences. Typically, they struggle to provide contextual information (when, where, who, etc.) when starting verbal narratives. Individuals grappling with Theory of Mind also often find it difficult to put themselves in the shoes of others, so they regularly struggle to understand that their listener is not privy to all of the information they, as the speaker, already know. They struggle to keep in mind that their listener needs to know this orienting information to adequately understand and appreciate the story. The Narratives: Set the Scene activity offers an effective, yet simple way for students to identify and practice delivering the information they need to provide at the outset of their narratives.
