1 thought on “Greg on NTCI”
And of course Anne Matava’s unique scripts are not targeted at all. In their genius, they allow us real freedom, which allows us to align fully with the research with no constraints on us or our student’s creativity.
Every year that goes by I see more in them, how easy they are to use (as explained in TPRS in a Year! in detail). Steven uses them a lot with the Invisibles. It is because he has done his due diligence and found what many of us think as the two richest ways of delivering CI – Anne’s scripts and the Invisibles/OWI.
Before the Invisibles (2016) when I ONLY used those scripts (they are the only thing that really worked for me in TPRS over a fifteen year period) I do remember some truly great stories, moments of real happiness and serendipity in the classroom. They kept me in the game.
Anne’s story scripts sare not tied to any lists. They do offer three structures because when I started working with Anne we thought that in order to do TPRS we had to have three structures. But we picked them out of the air. This did not go well with the TPRS people.
I did not realize until ten years and five books into TPRS that the three structures were to supposed to be tied to high frequency vocabulary lists, lists of words from each chapter of a novel, semantic sets, thematic units, etc. Oops!
