3Stories are easier to remember-because in many
ways, stories are how we remember.
Daniel Pink
A Whole New Mind (2006)
4Is Art a Language?
- Both are pervasive
- Both are built from basic units
- Both have a syntax or grammar
- Both are culturally specific
- Both change over time
- Both are learned symbol systems
- The language of art and the art of language?
5Humans are not ideally set up to understand
logic they are ideally set up to understand
stories.
Roger C. Schank
cognitive scientist

7Stories are the vehicle which keeps language
alive, and in turn, the way a person tells a
story is as important as the story itself.
Peggy V. Beck
Parabola (1995)

- The ability to interpret meaning through graphic
stimuli which provides an alternative way of
knowing and promotes higher order thinking and

18Four hunters with spears sitting around the
campfire. Lightning scares the emus. Giant emus
run around the hunters. The hunters look for
emus in the grass and by the rivers.

The use of wheels, flaps, turn-ups, pull-tabs,
and pop-ups grabs the readers attention and
ensures active participation. Whether intended
for teaching, entertainment, or aesthetic
sensibility, the use of movable paper devices
demands the reader interact with the books
content and makes the experience more memorable.
20Why bookmaking projects for speech/language
students?
- Improves self-concept and confidence (sharing
experiences) - Develops fine motor skills
- Creates opportunities for social interaction and
for self-discovery - Improves problem solving and decision making
- Assists in sensory awareness
- Vocabulary development! Increased literacy!
21Children as Makers of Meaning
- Interweaves play - talk - drawing
- Powerful combination of three communication modes
working together - (Dyson, 1990 Cross, 1999)
22Narrative Creation
- Ongoing narrative creation is happening inside
the childs mind - Occurs during the pop-up book making process
- Questioning What could this be in your story?
What does it look like? Could this box be a
chair? Fireplace? - Tell me your story. What else is needed?
23Obstacles to Expressive Intervention
- Verbal/Visual Stereotypes (Dead End Characters)
- Enrich the Commonplace
- Reduce Convenience Images
- Personal Images Help child to develop
creative/unique characters - Become the Story Conductor
-
(Johnson, 1992)

- Takes the ideas of the author and the illustrator
and puts motion into the characters and action
into the scenes. - Must be imaginative AND practical.
- Determines how the movable pieces will attach to
the page so they wont break, which points need
glue and how much, how long pull tabs should be
and how high a piece can pop up. - Lays out, nests the pages and pieces so they
fit onto the correct size pages for printing.

Singapore. - Production lines can have as many as 60 people
working to complete one book. - The most complex books can require over 100
individual handwork procedures to complete.
