E-mail a Friend Teaching Storytelling A Position Statement from the Committee on Storytelling Once upon a time, oral storytelling ruled. It was the medium through which people learned their history, settled their arguments, and came to make sense of the phenomena of their world. Then along came the written word with its mysterious symbols. For a while, only the rich and privileged had access to its wonders. But in time, books, signs, pamphlets, memos, cereal boxes, constitutions countless kinds of writing appeared everywhere people turned. The ability to read and write now ruled many lands. Oral storytelling, like the simpleminded youngest brother in the olden tales, was foolishly cast aside. Oh, in casual ways people continued to tell each other stories at bedtime, across dinner tables, and around campfires, but the respect for storytelling as a tool of learning was almost forgotten. Luckily, a few wise librarians, camp counselors, folklorists, and traditional tellers from cultures which still highly valued the oral tale kept storytelling alive. Schoolchildren at the feet of a storyteller sat mesmerized and remembered the stories till the teller came again. Teachers discovered that children could easily recall whatever historical or scientific facts they learned through story. Children realized they made pictures in their minds as they heard stories told, and they kept making pictures even as they read silently to themselves. Just hearing stories made children want to tell and write their own tales. Parents who wanted their children to have a sense of history found eager ears for the kind of story that begins, "When I was little ...." Stories, told simply from mouth to ear, once again traveled the land.

47. EAWC Essay: Storytelling, The Meaning Of Life, And The Epic Of Gilgamesh Article by Arthur A. Brown discussing the literary development in the several versions of the epic of Gilgamesh. http://eawc.evansville.edu/essays/brown.htm

Exploring Ancient World Cultures Essays on the Ancient Near East Storytelling, the Meaning of Life, and The Epic of Gilgamesh Arthur A. Brown Stories do not need to inform us of anything. They do inform us of things. From The Epic of Gilgamesh , for example, we know something of the people who lived in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the second and third millenniums BCE. We know they celebrated a king named Gilgamesh; we know they believed in many gods; we know they were self-conscious of their own cultivation of the natural world; and we know they were literate. These things we can fix or establish definitely. But stories also remind us of things we cannot fix of what it means to be human. They reflect our will to understand what we cannot understand, and reconcile us to mortality. We read The Epic of Gilgamesh To see for ourselves the meaning of a story, we need, first of all, to look carefully at what happens in the story; that is, we need to look at it as if the actions and people it describes actually took place or existed. We can articulate the questions raised by a character's actions and discuss the implications of their consequences. But we need to consider, too, how a story is put together how it uses the conventions of language, of events with beginnings and endings, of description, of character, and of storytelling itself to reawaken our sensitivity to the real world. The real world is the world without conventions, the unnameable, unrepresentable world in its continuity of action, its shadings and blurrings of character, its indecipherable patterns of being. The stories that mean most to us bring us back to our own unintelligible and yet immeasurably meaningful lives.

50. Digital Storytelling Finds Its Place In The Classroom Capturing a student’s voice is the real power behind using digital storytelling in the classroom. It is the most critical part of any iMovie project. http://www.infotoday.com/MMSchools/jan02/banaszewski.htm

Digital Storytelling Finds Its Place in the Classroom by Tom Banaszewski Educator/Multimedia Author, Maria Hastings School, Lexington, MA MultiMedia Schools • January/February 2002 MMS Online Extra • iMovie Tips: Managing the iMovie-Infused Classroom I recently spent over an hour scouring the Web for iMovie teacher tips for a class I am teaching for my colleagues. Dozens of iMovie tip sites provided excellent tutorials and sample iMovies, but not one took the role of the teacher in mind. As with many technology workshops, the focus is on learning the software, but what is running through most teachers’ minds is how to teach with the software or how will it look in their classroom. I have used the iMovie program for over 2 years with fourth and fifth graders. Whether you have only one computer or a 20-plus computer lab (Count your blessings if you do!), the following suggestions should keep your projects from becoming your entire curriculum. Advanced Record voice-overs on a digital camcorder, import them into the student’s iMovie, then extract the audio from the video clips. Intermediate When students are scanning images, be sure they each have a folder into which they can save the scans.

With a broad background in theater, including a ten-year stint as a historical interpreter in the national parks, he naturally turned to storytelling and became a full-time teller in 1987. Norfolk’s stories promote character education, cultural diversity and self-esteem, and are geared for audiences of all ages. His electrifying energy and soaring spirit have earned him a national reputation as an author, storyteller, TV host and recording artist. Swingin’ With Duke Ellington is an insightful look at the intimate life and prolific career of a musical genius. Accompanied by pianist Pete Ruthenberg, Bobby introduces the audience to the young Ellington and traces his development into the legendary composer and band leader at the Cotton Club in Harlem. This program features many jazz classics such as The A Train and East St. Louis, as well as Bobby’s signature high-energy performance style, enriched with language, movement and clever sound effects.

BABSONKNOWLEDGE.ORG Main May 22, 2006 A Storytelling Story Pretty much everyone interested in knowledge management knows that storytelling can be an effective knowledge-sharing technique , largely because it conveys context, causal relationships, and emotional content more effectively than most other modes of communication. Here’s one little story about storytelling that suggests some of the benefits. For six years, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory librarian Teresa Bailey has been overseeing monthly storytelling sessions at JPL’s library that often attract fifty or more listeners. Some stories have focused on fairly narrow technical or scientific issues (for instance, “Discovery of Sulfur Dioxide on Jupiter’s Satellite Io”). Other stories have dealt with particular missions (“The True Story Behind the Mars Pathfinder Success”), with more general learning from experience (“How Spacecraft Fail”), and with the organization itself (“Jet Propulsion Laboratory—The Early Years”). What do people get from these stories? Some pick up bits of wisdom they can apply to their own work—do’s and don’t’s of planning and design, maybe a technical insight that helps solve a problem. Some are inspired by stories of success. Most gain a greater sense of connection with the organization, because they hear about what colleagues have been doing, because the stories express values and aims that tellers and listeners share, and because they are participating in a communal experience. I believe building trust and relationships is a more important effect of organizational storytelling than knowledge transfer.
