The Story of Z

The Story Of Z is an excellent story because it taps into the human concsciousness. The story touched the emotions of the human heart. People feel unimportant for many reasons. Many of those reasons reflect how Z felt. People feel unimportant if they are the oldest,youngest, and middle child. Sometimes students feel unimportant when their names begin with the last letter of the alphabet,and they are always last in line for snacks,lunch,awards, and bathroom breaks. The Story of Z made people whether they are young, old, middle-aged or first, middle or last feel useful and important. Just as Z realized how important she was, we must come to that same conclusion. While the story of Z stresses the purpose and importance of this alphabet, it is a wonderful way to use the letters of the alphabet to teach. The Life's lesson in the story could be used on any grade level, or in any situation. The story of Z is a cross-cultural story that can be taught in school,church, a business, and to a blue-collar worker. It carries the same message. You have a purpose. You are useful, and you are important!
