Silko also reminds her audience that there is no distinction between the different types of genres of stories; whether it be myth, legend, historical, sacred, or gossip it is not functional to deliver the Pueblo experience of storytelling (471). Silko includes narrative form to establish a different perspective of writing through the influences of Pueblo oral…
Literacy knowledge can be assessed in a number of different ways. One way to assess literacy is through child interviews. Child interviews are good assessment tools for several reasons.

Therefore, it is important for children to learn the skills to access this information, hence why the bone activity comprises of a mixture of both, to learn the conventions for reporting experiments and data handling. Alexander et al (2008) deem this as a worthwhile task, as it incorporates purposeful literacy writing within the theme. However, they explicitly state that children must be aware that it is being delivered in an interdisciplinary approach, in order to see how writing can be used within other areas.

Collaborative storytelling Providing digital storytelling tools for the early childhood and elementary school years has been one of my constantly re-defined aims. The most recent tool I have developed is the Team Story editor, (Turcsányi-Szabó and Pasaréti, 2010) and also teamese.inf. Elte.hu.

They can easily assemble the story pages using the editor (Fig. 3.9.1 and 3.9.2) and supplement the pictures with a narrative in the form of written or spoken text.…
