Practice the ancient art of storytelling!

Add to Locker

Practice the ancient art of storytelling. Not only will you be able to spin the best yarn at campouts and sleepovers, but you will also become a better speaker in front of classmates. After hearing examples of well known stories, you will practice retelling the stories using character voices, gestures, and facial expressions. Then create your own stories from your life and imagination. Learn to build suspense and add comedy or surprise endings that will cause your audience to say, “Tell it again!” The class culminates in an optional public performance.
