The Moral of the Story: Folktales for Character Development -
By Bobby and Sherry Norfolk - Published by August House - 800-284-8784
Throughout history, traditional cultures have recognized the role of storytelling in teaching values to children. Yet existing curricula indicates most educators have not fully capitalized on the connection between storytelling, folktales, and character education. The Moral of the Story provides a user-friendly, hands-on approach to using storytelling and folktales in character education. In addition to providing a rationale for this approach, the Norfolks include twelve stories that are fun, time- and audience-tested, and accessible to a wide range of listeners, from preschool to high school. Each tale is followed by suggested activities or informal lesson plans for extending and enhancing the character education experience. Extensive bibliographies lead the reader to additional sources of folktales suitable for such curricula. The Moral of the Story shows that, through the use of folktales and storytelling, character education can be fun, enjoyable, non-didactic and remarkably effective.
Haunted Hearts: Tales of Love and Tragedy-
By Sherry Norfolk - Published by August House - 800-284-8784
Simple, potent, and direct to the heartstrings, this mix of traditional and original tales draws the listener into a transformational journey. The selfless love of the mysterious suitor in "Song of the Shepherdess" transforms him from wolf to man and back again; "Woman of the Wood" is brought to life by creativity, beauty and intelligence, but given happiness when she is allowed free choice. The six tales are woven together by traditional and original hammer dulcimer music, setting the emotional tone from one tale to the next. The stories and music lead the listener on a voyage of discovery, pursuing the elusive but priceless treasure of perfect love.
