<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-3853052960301992845" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 546px;">
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">
<div>
<b>FIRST THINGS FIRST</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the first things learned in school was that a story has three parts: a beginning, middle, and an end. The secret to the success of the final product depends on how those elements are used. Think of a car since it also has minimally three components: body, tires, and engine. The end result will be much better if the parts are put together in a logical whole where each part performs the function it is best suited to perform. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Visualize the parts of the story as a mountain you are attempting to climb. Analyze a story of your choice into scenes or movements representing the BEGINNING, MIDDLE, and END elements. Notice that the beginning will include some introduction that sets the stage, introduces characters, explains the problem and PULLS THE READER/LISTENER IN. The middle section will connect the events, contain the action, propels the story forward to the CLIMAX. Here the problem is faced and solved. The end of the story comes quickly after the high point of the story seen in the climax and presents the RESOLUTION to almost all the problems, and challenges that propelled the action in the story. Like guests at the end of a party, be brief and quickly conclude the story.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>TYPES OF TALES</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stories come in various forms. Some tellers find that they have a natural strength in one or more of these, some can work with ease through them all, be aware each is individual – find the voice that is true and comfortable for you.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<b>HEAD WORK</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Make a list of several stories or films that you really enjoy. What do you like about each one? What do these have in common? What does this say about you and your culture? What are the negative aspects of these same works? What do the negative elements say about you, and your upbringing? Would your parents or grandparents have appreciated these same stories or books? Why or why not?</div>

There are no “born tellers” – only people with differing levels of gifts in sharing human experiences. Everyone is already involved in the process of story sharing every time they share their experiences, recount historic events, tell a funny anecdote, and share core values. All these individuals need to become intentional story bearers is for them to make the decision that they will learn to do it better, with greater self-confidence and skill.<br /><br /> WHAT STORIES ARE BEST FOR ORAL TELLING?<br /> Family history stories, magazines, newspapers.<br /> Events from your childhood or personal experiences<br /> Folktales, fairy tales, myths and history books<br /> Simple picture storybooks<br /><br /> WHERE DO YOU FIND SOURCES FOR STORIES?<br /> The 398.2 area of the library<br /> The picture book area of the library or a bookstore<br /> Older family members or people in the community<br /> Newspaper articles, old magazines<br /> Historical events, oral histories, or biographies of historical people<br /><br /> HOW DO I LEARN AND TELL A STORY?<br /> Find a story you really like (you will be living with it for awhile)<br /> Become familiar with the story (read it several times)and any different versions<br /> Picture in your mind the major parts of the story in the beginning, middle, and end.<br /> Practice telling it to yourself. Repeat adding details. Repeat until story is firmly in your mind.<br /> Tell it often and enjoy.<br /><br /> HOW DO YOU GAIN SKILL AS A STORYTELLER?<br /> Tell every chance you can.<br /> Record yourself: are you too fast, too slow, too soft spoken, too monotone?<br /> Add a gesture to bring your story alive<br /> Practice using voices to help tell the story.<br /> Add a prop (a hat, an object from the story, a visual, a costume, or puppets)<br /> Add music from hands or an instrument<br /> Review what works, delete what does not, and keep learning more stories.<br /> Become a member of a group that will provide training, feedback, and constructive criticism.<br /> Attend training events, workshops, and concerts. See if the library carries tapes or CD’s of well-known storytellers - listen and learn.<br /><br /> BEGINNER’S RESOURCES<br /><br /> Bauer, C.
