Comment by Anastasia Ortenzio on May 1, 2008 at 8:19am: I was a teacher for emigrated people(adults). I teach them french language by the stories of the world. In France, teachers are now used to call storyteller in their class-rooms. I often help children to increase their imagination by listening stories. Then they create stories. I also have shows for babies. In "Cabaret-contes" I introduce stories, music, songs, poetry and clown... I train nurses (les nounous ou les taties) to tell stories... I hope you understad my SO BAD ENGLISH!!!! but this is communication also.... smile!

Comment by Ramona King on April 29, 2008 at 11:04am: I'm looking forward to communications with this group. The education system continues to change with specific needs that come with the changes. I believe our various ways to accommodate this will be of benefit to our profession and audiences. Let's talk! -RK

Comment by Muriel Horowitz on April 7, 2008 at 10:12pm: I'm excited about being in this group. I'm hoping it will motivate me to get things together to do more in-school work. After about 28 years of teaching, I retired from the classroom for a short time. Now, I teach 4 half days in another district as a reading/writing support teacher and have a chance to bring storytelling to some of the younger classes in my school. This school is hiring me to do a full day program for 3,4,and 5 grades. I'll be doing stories related to Earth Day and incorporating some interactive storytelling activities into each group's session. Any ideas about developing this program would certainly be appreciated.
Also, I'll be doing a local PTA regional showcase at the end of May. Any thoughts on how to give a sense of what I'd do in a workshop or residency during a 15 minute "performance" slot?
