Across the ages

Telling

A story joins generations when the same telling can be heard by a child and by the person who has already lived a life. The trick is not a simpler plot. It is a way of telling that does not split the room.

Read it aloud

One voice, and every age hears the same words. The child follows the people. The adult hears the sentence. Nobody has a private screen.

On the desk

A Christmas Carol

A rich man is shown the grave he is earning. Read a stave. Then stop and let someone else take the next page.

After it ends

Who kept a promise, and who did not?
What work in the story could this house do tomorrow?
What did the child understand that the adult is tempted to skip?
Will we tell the next part ourselves, or will the screen?
