Editor's Notes
1. Read the story of Anika and Mrs. Grey from Darlene's article - Teaching Learning and Schooling: Using Narrative in Teacher Education (I have attached it in case you do not have a copy)2. Placed the tc's into 3 groups - identifying the groups as Anika/Anika's Mom/Mrs. Grey (her teacher)3. Presented the premises each group should bear in mind (slide) in prep work4. Had them dramatize conversations or whatever to show sociality, inquiry and place for their character in the present. (slide)5. Then had them plan and repeat the same character in the future (slide) to give the sense of temporality and how it relates to narrative, sociality and place!6. I gave them a short time for prep so it did not get too competitive - and let them decide how many actually 'acted' :)
