These skills all apply directly to my students' performances on their oral and written IB exams. Storytelling and improvisational speaking are important life skills.

This whole storytelling assignment really just expanded my thoughts and knowledge about not only my fellow classmates, but the history of people and cultures different from mine. Storytelling has allowed me to stand back and think about the past and how it translates to today. This was freakin sweet.

Jean Pouncil-Burton's presentation was done at an engaging pace and with the main idea clear within the story. She maintained a pace that kept the students engaged and allowed them to participate verbally. She used a rhythm that other characteristics could be used in, or any idea to motivate and support one's self.

What an amazing presentation! The kids really enjoyed it and so did I!
