Question: How can
teachers initiate a story-telling project with young children?
Answer/Quote: “The week
began when a local story-teller visited the school and spent half-hour periods
with different grades. In addition to entertaining the children with her
stories, the story teller gave tips on how to tell stories (enjoy your story,
use facial expressions, use props, use movement, and be able to improvise).” P.
250.
“During
the next several days, reading classes were transformed into storytelling
workshops. To find stories they wanted to tell, the children had several
options: look through familiar and unfamiliar books for stories, write original
tales, or practice known favorite stories, such as family legends or folktales.
After the students had chosen their stories, they spent time practicing their
storytelling techniques….” 250.
