Using Story As A Teaching Aid

It’s not that easy to tell a story well and especially not when it’s a long one. It needs a certain ability to keep children engaged while they are listening to words with no other props to hold their attention. Presenting a story well is an ability that many teachers have, but may find difficult. Story telling, unless you’re a natural and warm to the task, can be hard work. Nevertheless, it is a method of communication that has a special place in the education and development of children. A place that may not always be appreciated to the measure it deserves.

Children are surrounded by many stories these days, mostly on TV or DVD. There is never a shortage of the next tale to look at. The creativity of these productions makes the teacher, who uses words only to describe the scene and development of a plot, pale into insignificance. At least, it seems that way, unless one is aware of the value to be found in a word based approach in story telling against the flashy and shiny presentations of the entertainment industry; unless one realizes, as many people do, that children are quite happy to listen to a story well told. A good story is a wonderful way in which to learn about words and encourages the use of imagination. Neither words nor imagination feature greatly in an exposure to film or animation. There the ideas surrounding the story have all been unpacked and are presented ready-made. The children are taken up more with dazzle than with the depth that language and imagination can invoke.

Teachers are well aware of the importance of language in the development of a child. Therefore, they would be on the look-out for teaching aids towards this continually. However, there may not be that much available, especially not with longer stories. Where are the aids that focus on language without demanding of the teacher to become ‘the great story teller from the sky?’

A good story allows children to get involved with words and imagination. It can also help them in their spirituality – meaning the recognition that as people they are spiritual beings. Story has been greatly used in human history as an introduction to the things beyond. In modern days with many people professing not to prescribe to religion the importance of the spiritual side of life is no less. For instance, might a person’s attitude have a spiritual rather than rational origin? After all, it comes from deep within and often

The Sons of God in the Three Religions

The Sons of God in the Bible:

The sons of God married the daughters of men giving rise to mighty men of renown.

Genesis 6:2

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Genesis 6:4

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. All the sons of God shouted for joy when the morning stars sang together. Scientifically speaking, there are no morning stars or night stars; stars are stars. Also, stars do not sing.

Job 1:6

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

Job 2:1

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.

Job 38:7

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

How would you become the sons of God?

Psalm 29:1

[A psalm of David.] Ascribe to the Lord, O mighty ones, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

Psalm 103:20

Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

John 1:12

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Romans 8:14

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Romans 8:16

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Romans 8:19

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Romans 8:21

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Romans 9:26

And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

Nutritional Supplements For Children

Nutritional Supplements For Children

Children these days if given a choice to choose between a candy bar and an apple would choose the candy bar. Schools are promoting the salty, fried, calorie full, sugary snacks, by adding them to the vending machines in both grade schools. These snacks look appealing, but their nutritional value does not.

Supplemental multivitamins can answer many parents’ worries about their child’s nutritional intake. Some multivitamins are not the same quality as others and some taste awful; yes, there are ones that taste good without being sugar-loaded. This article will help you ensure your children’s health by discussing 100% natural flavored nutritional supplements.

My child eats a lot of everything. Does that still mean that he needs to take a multivitamin? Would he benefit from taking one?

Getting all of the nutrients that a multivitamin can offer is challenging. If only depending on the daily food the child eats, it can be next to impossible for a child to receive the needed vitamins to build health bones and muscles. Also, cooking can alter the nutritional value of the food. For example, vitamins A, C and E are gradually destroyed by exposure to the air. Always eating fruits and vegetables is not a safe way out. Some fruits and vegetables grown are harvested in a way that the nutrients are sometimes being destroyed. This means that even raw food nutrients may be deficient.

Many children eat sugar-filled junk food more than is recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For one boy, this eating habit became almost deadly. Written in an article by Jeff Bradstreet, “A five-year old boy ate nothing but cheese pizza, Pop-Tarts, biscuits, and water, refusing fruits, vegetables, juices and vitamins. He slowly developed a limp, swollen gums, and small purple spots appeared on his skin. After five months of this extremely deficient diet, he was unable to walk or get out of bed because the pain was so severe. Doctors diagnosed the boy as having a severe vitamin C deficiency after ruling out other ailments such as leukemia. Within a week of getting vitamin C supplements, the boy’s pain and other symptoms were completely resolved.” The story is atypical, yet it can happen as it did to the boy.

Would taking a multivitamin help my child concentrate more in school?

Teachers agree that a balanced diet effects students’ intelligence in the classroom. But

5 Things to Do Outdoors With Your Children on a Clear Night

5 Things to Do Outdoors With Your Children on a Clear Night

 

On dark, clear nights an amazing world awaits even the casual observer. Telescopes and binoculars are optional and the viewing is best on nights when the moon is not full. So here are five great ways to enjoy a clear night with the kids:

 

Look for satellites

 

Our skies are filled with all kinds of spacecraft from weather satellites to communications satellites to the space station. On clear nights, they are easy to spot. Just look for what appears to be a slow moving star. Unlike an airplane, these objects do not have blinking lights and are usually white in appearance as they reflect the Sun’s light.

 

Generally speaking, the slower the satellite appears to be moving across the sky, the higher its orbit. And satellites will tend to disappear, reappear, brighten and dim depending on the object’s rotation and how well sunlight is reflected.

 

Watch for shooting stars

Certain times of the year, the Earth enters into debris trails left behind by fleeing comets. One such period usually falls in mid-August and another occurs around the second week of November. These meteor showers are the best times to observe shooting stars, sometimes as many as 50 or 60 per hour.

 

Caused by dust and small particles burning up as they enter the Earth’s dense atmosphere, shooting stars can be seen any time of the year in less frequent patterns.

 

Since the middle of the night provides the best viewing opportunities during meteor showers, it can be a special treat to wake the kids up and go outside during what would normally be their bed time. Local weather stations and the Internet are the best sources of information for when meteor showers will occur in your area.

 

Find some constellations

 

Constellations are star groupings that the ancients thought looked like people, animals and creatures they were familiar with. Today, people still navigate by how the constellations appear to be aligned.

 

Armed with a book about the night stars or some information gleaned from the Internet, many of the constellations are easy to spot. Orion and the Big Dipper are just a couple of the easier to recognize
