Description
THIS ARTICLE IS BASED ON A WORKSHOP PRESENTED BY THE AUTHORS AT THE 2004 INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL LIBRARIANSHIP CONFERENCE, DUBLIN, IRELAND. Storytelling is an ancient art, as old as oral communication itself. To be human is to be a storyteller; we use stories to define ourselves, to make sense of our world, and to create community. Unfortunately, educators--including teacher-librarians--have often neglected storytelling as a teaching tool and as a useful skill for students. A renewed interest in storytelling, not only by youth but also adults has resulted in storytelling associations, festivals, and clubs. As teacher-librarians, we can help keep storytelling alive in our classrooms and libraries by engaging students in storytelling activities.
