In this class, we'll cover the basic principles of storytelling that can be used in many mediums. Though we often think of storytelling as books and movies, it can be used in so many ways like marketing, social media, videogames, stand up comedy, essays, public speaking, and so much more! Each class will cover a basic principle: plot, characters, settings, themes, and conflicts, and have an interactive activity that will require class participation. Our lessons will begin with learning the fundamentals of a storytelling principle through a lecture and accompanying slideshow, then go into an activity so learners can put their skills into practice. We'll use different methods to keep learners engaged including PowerPoint Presentations, interactive whiteboards, games, and discussions.

What is a story?
In this lesson, we'll discuss the basic idea of a story. Everyone has their own thoughts on what makes a good story, and we'll analyze what they all have in common. This lesson is to get familiar with the idea of storytelling before we start learning the fundamental pieces that hold a story together. Along with some lecture, we'll have two interactive activities: talking about how stories are used in our lives and finding ways we can improve some famous stories. 60 minutos de lección en vivo en línea
Lección 2:
What is a theme?
In this lesson, we'll talk about the different themes in a story. Themes are the deeper meaning behind a story and the reason for getting it into the world. Is this a funny story to be told as part of a standup comedy bit? A potential videogame about a zombie apocalypse? a mystery in a fantastical world with dragons and wizards? Themes help stories have a greater impact because there's something in it for audiences. Our activity will look at themes in other stories to see their influence. 60 minutos de lección en vivo en línea

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura en Lengua Inglesa y Literatura desde University of Toronto
I have worked as a communications advisor for over ten years with the Federal Government of Canada, Oracle, and other organizations. For the last five years, I've specifically worked in advising to promote storytelling initiatives, focusing on brand recognition and promotion. In this role, I've worked with many teams and departments to break down the fundamental components of storytelling to engage audiences on projects and products. As many have come to learn, using storytelling as a promotion tool is very effective: developing an emotional connection helps keep something in your brain longer, and stories do this naturally.
Being a strong storyteller can help in so many ways, not just by keeping audiences engaged and entertained. Strong stories are the basis of many industries, so knowing how to structure a narrative can be imperative to success for future careers and personal development.
Having volunteered at summer camps and raising a young daughter, I'm very excited at the prospect of bringing my storytelling expertise to children. Almost all of my advising with respect to storytelling has been with adults in a marketing/advertising capacity, and I can't wait to work with children to help them bring their imaginations to life. There will always been a need for new, fresh stories, and I can't wait to help my students feel confident in their ability to tell the world their ideas. Reseñas
