Tandem Telling, Con.'t

2/9/2015

I just completed four full day storytelling sessions with preK4SA (Pre Kindergarten Professional Development through the City of San Antonio, TX) inviting teachers and paraprofessionals to participate for free in various storytelling workshops that integrate this ancient art into the curriculum enriching the students and their teachers!

Since my last blog dealt with tandem telling with my storytelling club, I wanted to share how our teachers did with tandem telling. We gathered all that we learned in two sessions and choose a story to tell from Margaret Read MacDonaldʻs book entitled Teaching with Story: Classroom Connections to Storytelling These woderful women decided to work on the West African Folktale entitled "How to Break a Bad Habit."  We learned how to create our "Bare bones" story on index cards to basically have an outline of our story. They did a fantastic job after practicing for only 30 minutes. 


Below is a short vido of three members of my storytelling club ranging from 3rd grade to 5th adapting the funny tale of "No News." I loved their adaption of this tale - yes the dog dies, but no mother-in-law death - just a burnt book, candles, Halloween scary stories, and a burned down barn and house - other than that, "there ain't been no news."
