11.1 - Storytelling

IN CLASS

• We discussed the importance of good storytelling:
  • Background - Problem - Solution - Lesson
• We learned different cuts and when we might want to use them
• We checked out the great stories that are shared on Great Big Story (some 'colorful' for sure)

CONSIDERATIONS

• Remember, there doesn't always need to be a real 'problem'. It is all about framing the story and what the people have done to overcome that issue.

HOMEWORK

• Make sure you have identified what your dramatic reading will be.
  • Consider
    • poetry
    • music lyrics
    • other short spoken-word type pieces
