The Art of Retelling Stories
Class experience
The tradition of verbal storytelling is as old as time or really as old as verbal communication I should say. Storytelling isn't quite as simple as retelling a story, reading one or acting it out. However, that is where it all starts. Storytellers engage their audiences with their story delivery skills. A good storyteller uses their voice and body as an interpretation tool. Great storytellers make the story they're sharing all their own by adding in their own ideas, style, and personality....
I was blessed to have found a class for my kiddo many, many years ago on storytelling. I was awestruck by the experience and the art form. One of my biggest takeaways as a parent from that experience was how much of an impact it had on his self -confidence, willingness to speak in public, a new desire to research stories and their history. Later in my life, I wanted to add speaking to my resume so I took some speaking classes. But what I learned in those classes wasn't as moving or inspiring as what I experienced when I watched storytellers doing keynote speeches. I searched out storytelling for myself. These days my speeches have a few dashes of storytelling. Now I want to help shine the light on this amazing tradition that is full of educational fun. I want to help inspire children to find their voice and confidence with storytelling.
I will provide some handouts. You may need to check out a few books at the library or do online research. Home practice is essential for success in this class.
This class is not ideal for shy children. This class requires children to tell their story to the entire group (4 other students).
