STORYTELLING

1. DEFINITION OF STORYTELLING

- STORYTELLING is the art in which a teller conveys a message, truths, information, knowledge, or wisdom to an audience - often subliminally - in an entertaining way, using whatever skills, (musical, artistic, creative) or props he chooses, to enhance the audience's enjoyment, retention and understanding of the message conveyed. Stories are sometimes told purely for joy and delight.

2. WHY STORYTELLING

- Whether in caves or in cities, storytelling remains the most innate and
important form of communication. All of us tell stories. The story of
your day, the story of your life, workplace gossip, the horrors on the
news. Our brains are hard-wired to think and express in terms of
beginning, middle and end. It's how we understand the world.

Storytelling is the oldest form of teaching. It bonded the early
communities, giving children the answers to the biggest questions of
creation, life, and the afterlife. Stories define us, shape us, control
us, and make us. Not every human culture in the world is literate,
but every single culture tells stories.

Storytelling can :

1. Inspires purposeful talking, and not just about the story -- there are many
games you can play.

2. Raises the enthusiasm for reading texts to find stories, reread them, etc.

3. Initiates writing because children will quickly want to write stories and tell them.

4. Enhances the community in the room.

5. Improves listening skills.

6. Really engages the boys who love the acting.

7. Is enjoyed by children from kindergarten to the end of elementary school.

What is "storytelling"? Telling stories, of course! There are so many diverse, wonderful, and sometimes overwhelming ways to do this. What I want to explore is traditional, oral storytelling, which has been a part of human life since we first left Africa 200,000 or more years ago. Perhaps storytelling was the reason language developed in the first place, as our minds began to inquire, wonder, think.

Why Do We Tell Stories?

Whether in caves or in cities, storytelling remains the most innate and important form of communication. All of us tell stories. The story of your day, the story of your life, workplace gossip, the horrors on the news. Our brains are hard-wired to think and express in terms of a beginning, middle and end. It's how we understand the world.

Storytelling is the oldest form of teaching. It bonded the early human communities, giving children the answers to the biggest questions of creation, life, and the afterlife. Stories define us, shape us, control us, and make us. Not every human culture in the world is literate, but every single culture tells stories.

Can You Be a Storyteller and a Teacher?

You already are. Teachers are storytellers, and storytellers have been teachers for millennia. In reality, teachers don't see themselves as storytellers. Or rather, they see the occasional storyteller and think it's a theatrical, exaggerated show more akin to acting. But hang on a minute -- being a teacher definitely involves acting and theatrics.

Interactive Storytelling

It is important at this stage that I describe my particular style. I don't rely on just "speaking" the story. I don't sit still in a chair. I talk slowly, with alternating rhythm. I walk around. I use my hands a lot. And, most importantly, I invite children from the audience to act out the story as I tell it. They dress up in funny hats and other props, and they follow the instructions in the story and repeat the dialogue I say. I stop and start the story a lot, asking the audience to contribute sound effects, to answer questions, to make suggestions.

The Many Benefits to Storytelling

When you tell your first story, there is a magical moment. The children sit enthralled, mouths open, eyes wide. If that isn't enough reason, then consider that storytelling:

Inspires purposeful talking, and not just about the story -- there are many games you can play.

Raises the enthusiasm for reading texts to find stories, reread them, etc.

Initiates writing because children will quickly want to write stories and tell them.

Enhances the community in the room.

Improves listening skills.

Really engages the boys who love the acting.

Is enjoyed by children from kindergarten to the end of elementary school.

Gives a motivating reason for English-language learners to speak and write English.

That last point has really proven powerful this year. My school is 97 percent English-language learners, and I have many children in my class who arrived speaking little or no English. The single biggest factor to their incredible progress in English has been their wanting to become storytellers.

So How Do You Become a Storyteller?

I recommend the following:

1. Read as many different world folktales, fables, myths, and legends as you can.

2. Watch professional storytellers and take notes about how they do it. Every storyteller is different, and you can learn something from them all.

3. Build your confidence by reading your students picture books or chapter books with an interesting voice. Stop to ask questions. Make the book reading interactive. It will help you create a shared event with a story.

4. Pick stories with small numbers of characters and repeating events, as these are easiest to remember. Having said that, pick any story you like -- no, that you love! If it captivates you, it will captivate the younger ones, too.

5. Write the stories down in a notebook. Writing helps you remember a story, and it models the same to the children.

6. When you start "telling" your story, it's OK to have the book nearby and to take a look at it if you forget a part. Don't be too hard on yourself. You are a student again.

7. Get yourself a "prop box" made of old bits of linen, and fill it with hats from charity shops and random objects that children can use imaginatively. I got a lot of my materials from recycling centers.

So What's Next?

Sure, becoming a storyteller takes effort and inclination on your behalf, but with so many benefits, isn't it worth trying? You might surprise yourself. You will certainly surprise your students. In relatively little time, you can be telling stories, running storytelling clubs, capturing the attention of the whole school assembly, contributing to school events and PD training schedules. I never thought I would be doing any of this when I started my teacher training seven years ago.

So what's stopping you? The next story starts with you . . .

STEPS FOR STORYTELLING

By following these five rules, you too can tell an interesting, captivating story that will enchant your audience, share important information, and engage from beginning to end.

1. Understand your brand and audience; speak in an authentic voice

- Tone and character.  Writing a story from the voice of the brand necessitates understanding the voice and personality of the brand. A brand’s personality is the set of human traits we attribute to that brand that brings it to life for consumers.

2. Get your facts straights with 5 Ws and 1 H

- Use a 5 Ws (what, where, why, who when, how) to build a story. You can add detail, character, and interesting tidbits to this foundation, you can flesh out the skeleton to bring it to life, but these five questions help you define the shape and structure of your story.

3. The powers of specifics, details and imagery.

- There’s an unmistakable power to facts and details. They provide an anchor for our attention, a seed for our imagination, and a proof point to your claims.

4. Show, don't tell

- This is about exposition, creating interest, and avoiding information dumps. The difference between telling a story and recounting facts lies in the style of the telling.

5. Know the end at the beginning.

- In an ideal world, you’d start your story with an outline, a framework of plot points intended to move your story from A to Z, perhaps with some detours and misdirection, but still always moving forward.

4. Steps to be a good storyteller

You are the best resource for your own stories! Your life your own experiences, they are the best resource for your own story. It is because when we tell a personal story, we tell it with more energy, more passion, more heartfelt than when we tell someone else’s story. We are more likely to inspire people to respond when we speak with great conviction and enthusiasm. Next, you have to learn to find great stories. If your stories are from your own life, learn how to look for them. Carry with you a recorder or a notebook and pen. Anytime something moves you-makes you laugh, cry, think, mad, etc, write it down. Write in detail what happened. Because over time you will forget the details, so write down as much as you can as soon as you can. Then, you have to make sure that the story drives home your point. If you are telling a speech, and you are going to insert a story in it, make sure the story actually makes the point of your speech. Don’t let the story drives your speech. Furthermore, you have to know your story inside and out. Because this will give you much confidence when you are telling your story. Another reason is, when you know your story well, you will be able to tell your story with passion. Then you have to connect with your audience. If you are able to do this, you can more easily draw in the interest of the crowd. This means understanding who they are, what they desire, why they are there, and how to speak to them.  Try to precisely understand what the audience goes through day-in and day-out and tell a story that connects with them. Your tone, language and attire should be different when you’re talking to high school students versus a group of women over 40. Lastly, use the emotion of the story. Stories are compelling, because the inform and entertain, they bring about emotion and they inspire. So, to compel the audience to respond, use the emotion of the story. You simply need to develop the fine art of storytelling.

5. Storytelling using props (puppets)

Storytelling using props is storytelling using things like puppets. Using puppets is one of the method to tell story using props. Telling stories to children using puppets may attract the students attention. Puppetry is the art of bringing inanimate objects alive. Children do this instinctively, when they pick up an action figure and give it voice and movement. For example, a movie called The Muppet, used this storytelling technique to tell story. It’s a storytelling where the puppeteer sit behind the stage and control the puppets. If the puppets talk, the puppeteer have to move its mouth, as the puppet itself talks. The puppeteer have to use different voice for different characters. Otherwise the storytelling will be confusing. The puppeteer also need to prepare a stage for the puppets to make the story interesting.

Literacy
-
Music and Movement is developed in literacy by expanding a child's vocabulary by introducing new words by introducing different types of instruments and activities in songs.The different instruments can also activate and expand bone structure and help with early language development.
Children Learn From Music and Movement
Mathematics-
Music helps the child with number concepts depending on the songs that are sung. It also helps to strengthen their concept of shapes and patterns by having them marching in a circle. This can also help by having spatial recognition by having the child jump up or down, move to the left or right, or even above or below. For example, having the child dance until the music stops is a concept of measurement.
Science-
Science can help with concepts of science by having them do songs such as "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" to teach them body recognition. One also can bring in things from nature to use during music and movement such as streamers or even rain stick.

http://www.earlychildhoodnews.com
Stages of Play Continued
Social Studies
-
The children can learn about spaces and geography by participating in movement such as go forward or backwards. They also can leaning about people adn how they live by having a professional musician or artist come in to speak about music more in depth. Another fun activity is using recycled goods such as bottles or cans to make instruments. You may also teach them the different types music such as ragtime,waltz and rock and roll.
The Arts
- Having the children dance is a great way to incorporate the arts along with letting them explore the music by the different tempos of the music to see what they may like the best. They also may want to use props while doing a song to help them interact with the other children more.
Technology-
Teaching the children about how to turn the radio on and off or even teaching them about different types of instruments such as the drums, guitar or even harmonica, can show them that technology is used to make music possible.
How can all children be involved?
Music and Movement can involve each child by letting the child explore and participate in their own way. With music and movement is not a set task or activity that everyone does the same. It is a fun and interactive activity where everyone is able to do their own thing but also learning about different developmental appropriate aspects such as body ID, learning number concepts and even working the small and large muscles in their bodies.Children with disabilities are able to express themselves and also may help with transitions issues they may have to help them get through the day.

Music and movement activities encourage the development of fine motor skills and coordination in young children. Such activities can help children burn off some of their excess energy while providing exercise and teaching rhythm. Classroom or home messes and the accidental bumping into each other can be avoided by conducting the activities outside, if possible.

4. Steps to do music and movement activities in classroom

STEP 1 - Play music and encourage children to dance freestyle. Use a variety of different types of music and show children some ways to move to the music.
STEP 2 - Give children musical instruments and show them how to play them. Teach children how to march around the room in a parade or marching band formation as they play their instrument. Illustrate how to walk or march to a beat.

STEP 3 - Teach children songs and actions. Actions can add depth to a song and will motivate many children to participate in singing.

STEP 4 - Show children how to chant in order to teach them the beat. Make up some chants and teach children to clap to the beat. Encourage children to stomp their feet, sway, wave their arms or march in place once they have mastered clapping to the beat.

STEP 5 - Play musical games that include movement. Gather many different instruments and have each child try to imitate a sound an animal makes while acting out the animal. Invite the other children to guess what animal is being imitated.

Many children enjoy listening and moving to music. Integrating some music and movement activities into the lives of young children can teach them new skills as well as help them to appreciate the arts. According to Jerry Storms, author of "101 Music Games for Children: Fun and Learning with Rhymes and Songs," interacting with music allows children to take a break from traditional learning and encourages them to think and learn in new and different ways. Playing games and doing a variety of activities along with music will help children master musical concepts and get some exercise at the same time.

Video of the Day

Play music and encourage children to dance freestyle. Use a variety of different types of music and show children some different ways to move to the music. Demonstrate ballet moves for slow music and air guitar for faster songs.

Give children musical instruments and show them how to play them. Teach children how to march around the room in a parade or marching band formation as they play their instrument. Illustrate how to walk or march to a beat.

Teach children songs and actions. Actions can add depth to a song and will motivate many children to participate in singing, write William M. Anderson and Joy E. Lawrence, authors of "Integrating Music into the Elementary Classroom." Make up actions to popular children's songs and invite children to make up their own as well.

Show children how to chant in order to teach them the beat. Make up some chants and teach children to clap to the beat. Encourage children to stomp their feet, sway, wave their arms or march in place once they have mastered clapping to the beat.

Play musical games that include movement. Try playing a game such as "Freeze Dance," which encourages children to dance until the music stops, when they are supposed to freeze, recommends Storms. Gather many different instruments and have each child try to imitate a sound an animal makes while acting out the animal. Invite the other children to guess what animal is being imitated.

If you do not have access to instruments, try making some with your children. Try filling a coffee can with dried beans or using paper towel tubes as trumpets. Empty boxes and wooden spoons make good drums, writes Storms, as do dried gourds.

When using musical instruments, make sure you teach children how to use them before allowing them to play so your instruments do not get broken, cautions Storms.
