Annie Weissman has been telling stories for over 30 years, and has been teaching others how to tell stories for almost as long. Here, she gives beginning storytellers step-by-step guidance in getting started (criteria for selection, learning the story), presenting a story (voice, pace, dialects, facial expressions, sound effects, audience participation), using proverbs to tiptoe into storytelling and integrating storytelling into school curriculum (social studies, mythology, tall tales, math and language arts). She also includes specific lesson plans for a unit in which students learn to tell stories, as well as provides a timeline, strategies and ideas for holding a storytelling festival at your school. 32 sample stories from traditional folk literature are included.

A bibliography of books with good stories for beginning storytellers, both students and adults, as well as books on the art of storytellingare included."
