Summary: Drawing of the Mind
Comment: Many educators use visual representation as one way of approaching a literary text. In Sketching Stories, Phyllis Whitin expands on this technique, systematizing it and showing how drawing can be used with literature in more complex ways. Whitin calls the technique "sketch to stretch," which she explains as a visual representation (or sketch) of a novel that extends, refines, and deepens (or stretches) a reader's awareness and appreciation of the work. The author has found, as I have, that readers' responses to literature are enriched when they approach the text in a variety of ways. Sketching Stories, Stretching Minds focuses primarily on Whitin's experiences with an academically talented class of seventh graders. Whitin adds that students of all abilities and varying grade levels have responded well to her efforts. She makes clear that this is only one of many possible approaches. This book offers a useful, enjoyable approach to literature beyond the standard book report.
