Phase 3: The Shared Story Phase
Phase hours: 250
GP-nurturer ratio (this is the last Phase where it's feasible to have more than one-on-one): 1-1
Materials needed for sessions: cartoons and stories, recording device, notebook for writing new vocabulary in
Activities in session: shared experiences (e.g. outing to the market, making fried plantains, visiting the zoo), Script of Life, cartoons narrated by the nurturer, "bridge stories" (stories that both the GP and nurturer are familiar with - such as fairy tales or Bible stories)
Activities out of session: reviewing recordings from sessions, visiting with host family/host friends, planning sessions
Understanding level: complex stories (provided the content is already somewhat familiar)
Speaking level: simple stories (mostly in present tense)

We like our coffee break. "Coffee break" is perhaps a little misleading. We don't usually have coffee. We chat and have snacks and drink tea and sometimes...
...We even invent our own games. (Or at least, Ruth invents games and then persuades us all to play with her.)
