Oral storytelling units bank on many students’ natural desire to share stories from their lives. Johnson & Freedman (2001) believe, as we do, that “all elements that are vital to creating a strong community of learners can be found within the people who share classroom space each day. By sharing stories—and allowing students to share theirs—teachers create a community of learners that might just overcome some of the boundaries that keep people apart or alone in the world of school” (p. 43).
I think this portion of the text made me think that in life, all people have stories and that makes them who they are so I completely understand when the quote says "by sharing stories and allowing students to share theirs" really puts emphasize on the fact that we are all trying to connect.
