Discussion Questions

  • Analyze together as a class, how did the stories Thomas King shared about his mother and father influence him?
  • In the first third of the essay, he discusses how personal stories affect our lives, but they generally don’t go beyond us and the people close to us. Now he will move on to creation stories and the impact that they have on cultures and, sometimes, the world.
  • Read/continue listening to 35:05 minutes…two creation stories
  • In groups of 2-4, recreate the story he tells in 7-10 key points in a creative way (playdough, comic, poem, lego) Get ready to explain to the class!

Mark quizzes

I have created a folder in ‘stories’ called ‘oral storytelling’ all of these and more are there for you to peruse also.

Here are some discussion questions:

  • What was difficult about this activity?
  • What were some strategies you used to help you remember better?
  • How many times would you have to hear this story before you could repeat it word for word?
  • If a story was passed down accurately through generations, what steps would have been taken to preserve the accuracy of the story?
  • How was this experience different from reading a story?
  • Why have we lost the skill of memorizing stories word for word in our society/  What might be the benefits of re-developing this skill?
