Crash Course in Storytelling
Libraries Unlimited | Kendall Haven and Marygay Ducey | Storytelling | December 2006 ISBN 10: 1591583993 ISBN 13: 9781591583998 Storytelling can be easy, fun, and above all do-able, especially with the simple, easy-to-follow directions given by these two master storytellers. Simple examples and summary directions for exercises and games reinforce and demonstrate key concepts. Step-by-step plans are given for choosing stories to tell and then successfully learning the story in preparation for its presentation to an audience. Audience management, practice activities, and the authors’ motivation exercises are offered as well as techniques to guide the teller through each of the major telling problems, and catastrophes that can be encountered. Storytelling extras (props to puppets, including costumes) and lists of grade-appropriate, time and teller tested stories are provided for new tellers to consider. The Crash Course series was created for individuals working in small public/museum/church libraries who need basic information on various service-specific topics. Written in lay terms, the tone of the Crash Course series is “how to” with little theory, but providing the fundamentals of day-to-day services. The books may be used for reference, as workshop guides, or as training manuals, and will be useful to staff who may need refresher information, as well as to new librarians and library volunteers.
