Classroom Strategies For Encouraging Collaborative Discussion The importance of collaborative academic talk, though, goes beyond English fairytales. produce coherence through managing topics, interactive tasks and http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/pubs/directions/12.htm
Extractions: This article is written primarily for English as a second language (ESL), bilingual and mainstream teachers who have English language learners in their classroom. The methods and activities described throughout can be successfully adapted for use with elementary, middle, and high school students. In reworking these activities for their own classrooms, teachers will want to consider the literacy and English proficiency levels of their students, along with such factors as age, cultural and education background, and learning style. The Need for Collaborative Talk in the Classroom The consequences of a silent classroom are particularly discernible for the language minority English language learner (ELL). Students who are in the process of learning English need help developing their oracy skills as a foundation for becoming literate (Cullinan, 1993; Heller, 1995; Hudelson, 1994; Philips, 1972; Wollman-Bonilla, 1993). They need an environment where they can talk not only with their teacher, but also with their peers. It is important, then, to impress on ESL, bilingual and monolingual teachers who have ELLs in their classrooms the benefits of giving their students opportunities to use verbal language for different purposes and situations.
Extractions: Stories have most likely been part of the human experience from the earliest days of language, but until recently the storytelling medium has been largely static. Barring different versions of the same story, any given tale unfolds the same way every time one reads it. Computer games promise the potential to move beyond this strictly linear form by offering stories that interact with the player, allowing them to participate in the decisions or actions that shape the narrative. However, at the current time this field is still in its infancy. The origin of interactive storytelling probably dates back to Tactical Studies Rules (1974), itself based upon a set of tabletop battle rules - Guidon Games' Chainmail (1971). Similar in terms of mechanics, had a revolution in its focus, changing the game play to being about characters, not armies. This was the start of tabletop role playing games (RPGs), which were to influence and inspire many computer games to follow. The tabletop RPG is a 'perfect' interactive storytelling medium, as an unrestricted story develops from the dynamics of the group of players, led by a Games Master (GM). The former decide upon the actions of key characters in the story, the latter takes the role of the rest of the universe - becoming very much the surrogate author of the collaborative tale that develops.

Salon | Media Circus: Author-free Writing interactive NITWITS REPLACE AUTHORS IN NEW collaborative writing VENTURES. Who, afterall, doesn t desire more control, a sayso in the telling of a tale? http://www.salon.com/media/1997/12/12media.html
Extractions: BY BENJAMIN MARCUS L iterary "interactivity" is forever presented as something unquestionably good, something every reader should want. Who, after all, doesn't desire more control, a say-so in the telling of a tale? But stepping in and manipulating a story, or "voting" for its outcome, is another way of stating that you know exactly what you want and that the author is just a bother in the process, like a tool or a piece of software to be manipulated for greatest effect. The pleasures of being surprised and led to unknown territories are ignored, as is the idea that the author might require "authority" to succeed at the story, while the reader behaves as a customer who's damn well entitled to modify the product. Such meddling is a liability in the recent round of interactive literary collaborations, played out both on paper and online.
