Welcome to the Timber Drive Storytelling Club!
At our first meeting, we will go over storytelling basics and you will have an opportunity to select a story to begin learning. At each of the following meetings, you will learn techniques to make your story more interesting to your audience. We get together to learn stories and practice telling them. We also learn to use different emotions and tones of voices and body language to help tell our stories. Storytelling improves literacy and comprehension of stories. It will help your students with public speaking skills and give them confidence in themselves.
