ABSTRACT This essay offers a reflection on Julie Ann Scott’s essay “(Re)Directing a University Storytelling Troupe for At-risk Elementary Students for Course Credit: A Story of Embodied Empathy, Literacy and Personal Transformation,” I focus, first, on the pedagogical value of community-engaged performance and second, the practical value of projects that make performance interpretable to an all too often skeptical public. Ultimately, I argue that this project offers an excellent example of the good work community-engaged projects can do for students in particular and the discipline in general.

关于社区参与讲故事的教学和实践价值

摘要 本文对 Julie Ann Scott 的文章“（重新）指导大学讲故事剧团为有风险的小学生获得课程学分：体现移情、识字和个人转变的故事”进行了反思，我首先关注的是教学法社区参与绩效的价值，其次，使绩效能够被经常持怀疑态度的公众解释的项目的实际价值。最后，我认为这个项目提供了一个很好的例子，说明社区参与的项目可以为学生和整个学科做的很好。
