Students expressed their preferences for the oral or book modalities,
or if their experience of each listening/viewing method was equal.
This graph shows the students' preferences. (7 students preferred
the oral story, 5 preferred the story as told and illustrated
in the book, and 8 enjoyed both equally.)
These are some of the students comments about these two modalities:
The book had pictures to help me understand
more and to see what it was like living in the Dinéh tribe, how
they ate, lived, and all the traditions. Darcy
I liked both because they have the same
names of people and same details. But the book had pictures and
the oral story had you make a picture in your mind. Rachel
