STORYTELLING! What are Americans most scared of? In second place is death. In first place is public speaking. Let's nip neurosis in the bud! What I like about this ten-lesson literature-based storytelling unit is that it gives children with a dramatic flair some time on stage, but the activities are structured incrementally so that even children who are terribly shy will ultimately find they have the skills to shine. You can use this model to teach one child to tell a story in front of a group, but why just one? Be a megalomaniac about it! Do it with a classroom of children, or several classrooms of children, or with an afterschool group, or with the dead-end kids on your block. Culminate the acquisition of storytelling skills with a festival the whole community can enjoy. Storytelling has all the benefits of read aloud. It improves language skills such as vocabulary, prediction, sequencing, comprehension, story structure and recall. These skills will also help children become better writers. Just as is the case with read-aloud, children who engage in the activity learn about history and culture, develop emotionally and have better self-esteem. Storytelling stimulates imagination to the nth degree. And storytelling creates a love of story that translates into a potentially life-long love of books the same way read-aloud does. Storytelling and read aloud must be brother and sister. Or, at least, first cousins.

Brain Tennis archive Originally published 9 July 1997 Digital Storytelling: Is It Art? Back to Synapse Janet H. Murray is a senior research scientist and a professor of interactive fiction writing at MIT. She envisions a digital-era renaissance of storytelling. In her new book, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace, she sketches a future where "story" morphs into an ongoing, participatory flight of the imagination. In The Gutenberg Elegies, essayist and cultural critic Sven Birkerts pays homage to the bound book and warns that the stakes are high in our migration to digital communication. The computer, he says, challenges not just literature, but the very basis of a coherent understanding of the world. Begin

Why does Grandma sigh when she sees dahlias? Why is Uncle Aaron always the last to get pumpkin pie at holiday dinners? Family members who remember share their versions of what happened. Children, hearing these stories for the first time, ask for the details. Stories Keep Us Connected Our shared stories are part of what gives us a sense of family, and a sense of continuity in our lives. They remind us of our connectedness, and support and inspire us when life becomes challenging.

Here's how to create a new annual tradition in your own family for collecting and preserving family stories for future generations. Begin by soliciting stories.

Literary Links About the Author Vita Film Scripts Q/A Home Perceiving The Foundation of Storytelling by Bill Johnson Revised 12/27/98 When many people consider how to tell a story, they think in terms of plot and character. While these are often the most visible aspects of a story, there is an underlying foundation of principles that support a well-told story. These principles could be compared to a house foundation. Without a solid foundation, the other effects of a house its character and design cannot be fully enjoyed. In the same fashion, these principles of storytelling are also mostly out of sight, but a badly laid story foundation has effects just as damaging as a badly constructed house foundation. While these story principles are presented in a particular order, a storyteller can come at these issues from any direction. There is no inherently right or wrong way to understand them. 1) Understanding the human need for stories.

ONLINE JOURNALISM INTERVIEWS Nicholas Negroponte TRAVEL RETURN OF THE LEGENDS ESSAYS Personal storytelling Center for Digital Storytelling helps people hold up a lens to their own lives This column appeared Oct. 8, 2002, in the Online Journalism Review. Here's the version on the OJR site. By J.D. Lasica Kiok Gruttend, an emergency room nurse at Kaiser Permanente, sat nervously at the pockmarked table as a dozen strangers sat and waited. "Pardon," she said, "my English not too good." Her fingers trembled slightly as she began reading her two-minute script. Gruttend told of her upbringing in South Korea, of her marriage to a Swiss man, of her yearning for a diploma, of the frailties of an immigrant family in Marin County. By the time she finished, more than a few eyes were moist. "Good, good. Now let's hear some ideas on how to refine Kiok's script." Joe Lambert, director of the Center for Digital Storytelling in Berkeley, Calif., scanned the room. To Kiok's right, Ruby Wilson had signed up for the workshop to create a piece honoring the life of a 96-year-old friend. M.K. Bryant, a self-described retired parent, came to document the stories we tell each other over meals at funerals, weddings, celebrations. Don Jones, who works for a Toronto company that creates simulated learning environments, clutched the lyrics of "Moon River" and would later tell how he sang the song as a lullaby to his now-grown children when they were very young.

They are all products of the false belief that we are born with empty minds, a tabula rasa . Or so says Steven Pinker in his new book, The Blank Slate . If the aim of science is to explain apparently unrelated phenomena via a single elegant theory, Pinker is obviously onto something big. Any theory that can explain the origins of the Five Year Plan and Le Corbusier must be reckoned with. 4637 words The full text of this piece is only available to subscribers of the Review 's electronic edition .
