Excerpt from Here and Now Story -to Seven Year Olds: Experimental Stories Written for the Children
Mrs. Mitchell as story teller in this new sense Of writing stories, rather than merely telling them, is having an in¿uence in the school which has not been altogether unlooked for. The children look upon themselves as composers in language and language thus becomes not merely a useful medium Of expression but also an art medium. They regard their own content, gathered by them selves in a perfectly familiar setting as fit for use as art material. That is, just as the children draw and Show power to compose with crayons and paints, they use language to compose what they term stories or occasionally, verse. Often these stories are a mere rehearsal Of experiences, but in so far as they are vivid and have some sort Of fitting ending they pass as a childish art expres sion just as their compositions in drawing do.
