When I was young I often begged my grandmother and grandfather to tell me the stories of how they lived and what they did. I wanted to know all about them and where they had been. I wanted to know about a time when things were easier or different. Now that I am a grandmother, I remember how important it is to pass on the stories. This class will help you write and tell your own story. Designed as a 6 session course your group can began to develop your own stories and to learn to share them. In this workshop we will explore the hows and whys of writing and telling your own story. You will be given the opportunity to ask questions and share your knowledge. You will have the opportunity to tell your story with the written or spoken word. Workshop presented by Lauretta Phillips, Storyteller and Writer in cooperation with L.T.I.G foundation. A private foundation dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the traditional arts. Also in cooperation with Taylor Community. To sign up for this workshop see your activity director.  Storytelling opens the door to literacy. With out oralcy there is no literacy. This program is designed to help teachers and students prepare for the literacy tests by helping the students learn to write and tell their own stories. We will be using various tools provided in the Six Traits of Writing program and in Story Boarding, the techniques are consistent with students abilities in each grade level. Originally designed for grades K-5, this program can be adapted to students abilities in each grade level, K-12.

When she was finished they still wanted more." Mrs. Jessop, Hill Street School "Picture this - A group of kids sitting around on bales of hay under the storytelling tent, At the same time a target shoot was going on a little bit away and a petting zoo was right across from from the tent. Still the kids remained sitting on the bales of hay listening to the storyteller. Lauretta was that teller." Sheila - Franklin, NH
