Narration, or what Magda Gerber called sportscasting, is at the core of how I teach. I spend my days at Woodland Park telling the childrens stories as they happen, loudly enough that those nearby can hear. I try to not tell children what to do, but rather describe what they are doing. Narration helps provide context, expand vocabulary, and encourage cooperative behavior, the basis of community, the reason we come together in the first place. Over time, with practice, one can even learn to guide behavior not through commanding it, but rather simply through what you chose to narrate about a story as it happens and what you choose to leave out.
