Description
As educators in schools and universities struggle to find ways to engage students in literacy development, content area exploration, sharing stories for business, for pleasure, and responsible citizenship within our global community, storytelling is receiving a tremendous amount of support and acceptance as an important teaching tool within the local, national and international education community. Research shows that storytelling activities encourage and facilitate children and adult oral and written language development, increases listening and reading comprehension, inspires a love of reading, and promotes cross-cultural understanding.;;Participants in this workshop will learn how to create and tell a story in a compelling way. They will leave with a story they have created and told.
