Chapter 11

I agree with the author when she states that "storytelling, role play, and drama allow students to explore their inner resources, empathize with others, and used their own experience as scaffolds on which to build credible action."  When  a story is told in the first language to the point that students are familiar with the story, the student will not only be able to interpret the story when told in the second language, but they will also be able to internalize the words in the second language.  Role play and drama are just extensions of storytelling in that they help students get in touch with their creative sides to act out the story.
