Storytelling-Retelling-Writing

__________________________________________________________________________

Using familiar folk tales and fairy tales, students will be introduced to the art of storytelling, learn how to use their knowledge of story elements to creatively retell one of the stories, either individually or in a group. Students will then share a personal story with a friend and write down their own original story. The story will be written in the students’ native language and English.

A follow-up workshop can be added to include the students creating (writing and illustrating) a dual-language book for their stories. Translation assistance can be provided.
