Storytelling

We all tell stories. Exciting stories about our daily activities. Funny stories about things that have happened. Narrative stories about our lives.

Children's librarians tell stories as part of their duties. Aaron Shepard has a good guide to storytelling on his Web site at: http://www.aaronshep.com/storytelling/Tips.html

Let's look at these YouTube videos for tips to help you get started.
