Becoming a Story Teacher: Using Picture Books to promote storytelling and story re-enacting; and to enhance creativity and self-expression in children of all ages.
This interactive workshop will discuss and demonstrate activities that participants can easily integrate into their routine.
Using picture books based primarily on folktales (and variations of these tales), fairy tales and poetry, children can be introduced to story reenacting and eventually to telling and acting out their own stories. The use of creative dramatics, movement, story songs, puppets and Kamishibai (Japanese paper theatre) will be discussed.
The workshop will also touch on Vivian Paley's Storytelling Curriculum.
Workshop participants will have an opportunity to become part of a story reenactment.
By the end of the session attendees will have practical knowledge of how to begin implementing a story program and a list of picture books and other resources.
