Through multilayered conversations with individuals and groups traditional storytellers, teachers, children he examines the dynamic nature of oral culture, its embodied nature, its connection to place, and its use of metaphor, laughter, ethnicity, and intergenerational conversation to create unique kinds of interactions and learning. Offering storytelling as anancestral template of good teaching, Sewall demonstrates how teachers can use the folkoral voice to inform and transform classroom practice.
