49th Shelf Teachers uses Alex and The Other

How to get kids into storytelling, even the ones who aren't strong writers? This week blogger Allison Hall at 49th Shelf Teachers website has some great suggestions, with "Books to Inspire Storytelling (with tech tools to capture the tales)"!

Allison provides ideas, inspiring books, and technology to help student storytellers with Podcasting, StopMotion Animation, Ebook creation, Animation and Coding, Online StoryTelling, Comic Book and Graphic Novel Creation.

In the "Video Creation" section, Allison suggests using my 2018 book, Alex and The Other to inspire kids to tell SPOOKY stories with green screen. Alex's is a doppelganger story, and is the 4th book in the award-winning Weird Stories Gone Wrong series, for kids grades 3-6.


These are great ideas, books, and technology to help inspire kids to tell their stories, however they do it. We need the next generation of storytellers, now more than ever!
