Here is the email I sent Larry:
Actually Larry I see that four of the people in my PLC – Jeannette, Judy, Laurie and Chris Stolz have already written articles on TPRS that can be read on your blog. I would just say the same thing, but with less eloquence.
Instead, therefore, I will bring this very compelling question about the classroom gap between ELA and TPRS to the group. We will knock it around a bit, and perhaps then we can offer you something strong that comes from what our group collectively thinks on this important topic.
I say “classroom gap” between ELA and TPRS because there is no gap in the research. Krashen’s work was originally done in ELA and yet has been much more successfully applied to TPRS. That seems odd.
So I’ll see what kind of discussion we can get going on the PLC and if we get anything interesting I will then share those insights with you in response to your question about the potential for storytelling and the work of Blaine Ray to influence ELA classrooms.
