SabrinaJourney-Uses in the Classroom
Using a model of storytelling like SabrinaJourney could have several possible purposes. The following are some possible applications of the model:
· Autobiography- Students often love telling their story. Providing students, even those reluctant writers, with a topic about themselves often engages their interest and desire to produce. Integrating a writing component in this model of storytelling seems to be rather seamless.
· Sequencing- Though a basic skill, SabrinaJourney could be a way to get students to understand and demonstrate sequencing. Some students even struggle with identifying their life’s sequence of events, so this could be a starting place to begin developing sequencing skills that are also important literacy skills as well.
· Futures Planning- I have seen students with cognitive impairments use video sequencing and picture schedules to guide them towards completing activities that they have not yet mastered such as mopping, riding the bus home, or any task that can be sequenced. Student input into the activities they would like to see themselves actually complete could be great additions to this. A student could actually see and hear themselves do something before they do it.
