“What Happens Inside Your Head When You Are Listening to a Story?” Children Talk About Their Experience During a Storytelling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper is part of an ethnographic study of storytelling in a school in which I spent five months in a grade four/five classroom. There I listened for all the stories told over the course of the day. Children talked about movies and being sick. They traded rumors and hearsay about local events such as a road accident or “the sniper in Washington.” Their teacher, Linda Stender, also told stories. She shared her experiences, illustrated a point," explained a math problem, or just got attention for a subject. Linda Stender is a “professional” storyteller. She was a member of the Vancouver Storyteller’s Organization and attended storytelling festivals, workshops, and conferences. In her classroom, about once a week or less, she gathered the children and told them a story from memory.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
