Storytelling with Paula Davidoff |
Traditional stories allow people to describe and understand life. They also have the power to change lives. The Art of Storytelling is the relating of a tale through voice and gesture. When stories are presented in this way, listeners use their own experiences to create the imagery suggested by the storyteller’s words. When students hear folktales and myths, they find in them the stories of their own lives, stories which enable them to talk about things they have never talked about and recognize things about themselves and their environment that they have never noticed. Paula Davidoff is a teaching artist who uses the art of oral storytelling as the foundation of workshops and residencies that help students improve language literacy skills and to develop skills and understanding that promote social and emotional literacy. She collaborates with teachers to develop programs that help them meet specific goals for student learning. Possible activities include: Learning to speak and listen: deep discussion of story, student storytelling using personal or traditional tales, writing workshops and residencies: storytelling as a springboard to writing and connecting literature to life: exploring social issues through discussion and writing about story.
