Using Story Boxes in Language Learning
Story boxes and story bags
are containers for holding realia that are used to enhance reading. The teacher‘s
selection of an appropriate book and the specific items put into a story box
can be adjusted for any group based on the English proficiency.
If a teacher plans to make many story
boxes to accompany different book, it is best to select a type of box that is
large. Students can also be encouraged to decorate the outside of the box to
match the story they are reading. For a beginner teacher, it is also possible
to use a large plastic or paper bags. Pizza boxes are another possible
container for story boxes. There’re many ways to use a story box. Teacher can
talk with the students about the items in the box and ask question about it.
Teacher should spend time with each item to allow the students to think about
the items. It’s also helpful to list the item on the board that how the words
are spelled. After that, teacher can decide to do more activities.
Teacher can also choose to read the book
immediately after examining the items in the story box with the students. Story
boxes are an excellent addition to any class and can help students to develop
vocabulary and make connections between the selected book and their own
experiences. Students can also be encouraged to think about creating their own
story boxes as part of book report or a class presentation. Story boxes and
bags are interactive way to encourage discussion and writing, to build
vocabulary and to provide a multisensory activity for a variety of learners.
This creative activity is an excellent way to help enhance students’ reading
experience and make learning tangible.
