The Story Pit (Print Copy)
Welcome to The Story Pit.
Walking the line between a fun book for students and a valuable resource for Japanese teachers, The Story Pit is a collection of 20 new and compelling Bakemono Classroom short stories. From space opera's, cumulative kid's stories and Yokai tales, through to action, adventure and dating, students (and teachers) will never be bored with what's coming next.
In the hands of a teacher looking to get involved in Comprehensible Input, this resource has the potential to fill the gaps in any lessons, with compelling and understandable stories. For independent students who have some mastery of Hiragana and Katakana, it eases you in, gives you a sense of accomplishment and then pushes your language to new heights. It features:
20 compelling and punchy stories in Japanese
A 3-part haunted house story, introducing the Whitley Mansion. These stories are the first, middle and last stories in the book, acting as language 'mile markers' to show the incremental increases in difficulty
Illustrations accompanying each story, in a unique 1-bit, black and white art style
A breakdown of each story at the rear of the book, including a summary of the story, the included kanji as well as the structures and vocabulary to guide self study or aid teacher lessons
'After Story Adventures', offer ways for both students and teachers to extend and play with the story after reading
A few secrets to discover and much more!
Please note the thumbnail image and the book cover will differ. I changed it on my website due to formatting differences.
With clear applications for beginner students and teachers looking to get involved in Story Listening, Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS) or Comprehensible Input in general, The Story Pit is more than the sum of its parts.
Written and illustrated by Richard Petrucci of Bakemono Classroom and edited by Kathryn Tominaga. For more information and a 27-page sample of the story, please visit www.bakemonoclassroom.com/journal/the-story-pit.
Also available for Amazon for Australian and International buyers.
