Bibliotherapy Session: Post Reading Activity - Identification, Catharsis and Insight

I had the opportunity to revisit the materials I made and created, as well as some writings and the research I did on Bibliotherapy last year. 2020 was an extraordinary year and a year in the pandemic has allowed me to see what was and what is. Thanks to Teacher Ani Almario for inviting me in her class to speak about Bibliotherapy, my passion project. I had a good look on what to do with the work I currently have.

Meanwhile, here is one activity in the Bibliotherapy session I demonstrated to Teacher Ani's class. I used the 3-2-1 Strategy of Sanacore to activate identification, catharsis and insight among participants.

Storytelling for Hope and Healing at the Learning Revolution Summit 2020

I'm speaking at the Emergency Home Learning (& More) Summit. This is the question that we seek to answer or use as guide for discussions: How do we dramatically help or change the lives of students, parents, teachers, librarians, and others?

Storytelling for Hope and Healing

In times of challenges, changes and conflict, we can turn to stories and poems for solace, comfort and consolation. Selection of the appropriate literature is key. When we read, engage and share the literature with a companion, a friend and a mentor the experience becomes more meaningful. The Storytelling for Hope and Healing will discuss the value of stories, storytelling, reading and writing as sources and avenues for catharsis, insight and taking action. Included in the presentation are techniques and strategies in delivering sessions for bibliotherapy as well as a recommended list of books and resources for teachers, librarians and parents.
