Description:
This presentation will show how folk stories and folkdances can be used to teach multicultural concepts in the elementary classroom. These engaging stories allow children to view the world through the eyes of a new culture. Hands-on activities will be shown which include co-operative methods of re-telling and dramatizing the stories. Folkdances provide a kinesthetic learning experience about culture. Termed "the dance of the common people," folkdances communicate emotions through rhythm and movement. Creative movement activities then allow the students to reinterpret and internalize language concepts.
