a storytelling blog and a place for my random thoughts on stories, songs, children and the arts, crafts and activities for childrens and storytelling in general.
Yes, yes...this is related to storytelling. I keep telling you that EVERYTHING is related to storytelling...or STORYTELLING is related to everything. (Listen to your storyteller!)
Stories can help people learn, absorb, remember and share information and ideas. Stories motivate, persuade, inform and inspire. Compelling stories have far-reaching emotional impact. And stories can demonstrate what success looks and feels like, painting a clear picture of how we might need to change the way we think and do things. from The-Storytellers.com I figured they had said it so well there was no need for me to change it.
This vid is from TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design)an invitation-only event where the world's leading thinkers and doers gather to find inspiration. If you do not see the vid, you may see something that says player 7 or player 8. Just hit one of those and the vid should pop up.
"It ought to be the rule, rather than the exception, that young children listen to, read, act out, and discuss fairy tales, myths, legends, folklore, heroic adventures, biographies, and stories from history." Ravitch (1987)

The Storyteller's Creed by Robert Fulghum
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge,
That myth is more potent than history,
That dreams are more powerful than facts,
That hope always triumphs over experience,
That laughter is the only cure for grief,
And I believe that love is stronger than death.
