STRATEGIES Listening to a story, acting out the journey, mapping.
INTRODUCTION This final journey is about returning home and capturing the pupil’s memories and feelings about the whole story experience, as well as allowing them to identify their own wisdom and those qualities that they might share with Anansi and the little wise girl in the wisdom story. Anansi is a trickster, but he also acquires wisdom, and his stories have survived for hundreds of years, with new ones being created all the time. Anansi is the keeper of stories from all over the world!
