The Persian Market - Lesson Block-NEW!
Ebook & Four Videos-15.00
This block was created for the Waldorf grade five Persian studies unit. However, in the Waldorf (and my) world-view it is also suitable for all ages. You can see some ways I have adapted it by watching the videos. This lesson is very easily adapted to all ages. In Waldorf education the teacher is supposed to provide lessons to their students that reflect their student population and the country or culture those children live in. Additionally, with the intense relations we have with the Middle East in the news (especially Iran) and with the diversity of culture we have in America, it makes sense to introduce children to the culture of Persia and the Middle East at a young age, as well as delving into it deeper in grade five when the children study ancient cultures. I did the expanded plan with my children and I do the mini version for the local public school system through www.WorldofDifference.com. This lesson covers math, history, language, Arabic, Persia, stories, culture, science and more.

Storytelling Workshop - DVD Download -
Ipod and/or video download available-7.50
This 75 minute video from the Home and Hearth Conference in El Paso, TX received rave reviews from the audience and covers "The Five Stages of Storytelling", "How to Bring a Story Alive" and "Where and When to Tell a Story". This is some of the feedback from the audience:
"I've used both already with my children today with great results. I even used my new storytelling skills in Sunday school at church yesterday. I had a roomful of 7-12 year olds who had been so out of control during songtime the chorister was in tears by the end. But when I re-told the story of the lost lamb and the shepherd using some of the simple techniques Kristie taught us Saturday, I had them hanging on my every word. It was so amazing." - Rachel
"I was really impressed at how well Kristie knows her topics! She spoke without notes and initially canvassed the attendees as to what each one wanted to cover. She deftly moved through the material and answered everyone's questions in an easy-to-follow manner! She made everything sound SO easy! ...Kristie didn't just leave us there, she carried on to explain how a beginner can work with one of the more advanced styles of storytelling if a particular story is really begging to be told!" - Kimberly B.
