Fred Rogers
From the wisdom of Fred Rogers:Look and listen carefully
Fred created the Neighborhood series with an intentionally slow and deliberate pace so that children had time to look and listen carefully. There were many close-ups, few camera changes…and lots of silence.I know you’re under a great deal of pressure to “teach” children, but think about what it can mean when you slow down the pace, letting children take the time to look and listen – to digest and integrate.

Grandma Moses
To share your story, you’ll need to write it. That may sound like an ambitious project, but it really isn’t. The folk artist Grandma Moses said, “I have written my life in small sketches, a little today, a little yesterday, as I have thought of it.”
The ordinary experiences of a woman’s life, told in ordinary language, creating a history as legitimate as those told in books.
