Tuesday: Storytelling links and some other notes

In order to keep the students' minds on Storytelling, I thought I would post a few photos to give the students some ideas and inspiration for when they tell there own.  I would like to have the sessions begin by early next week.

Here is the first video selection:

Whoops.  I meant to select another one.  That's okay, the more examples to watch, the better.

Selangor, by the way, is a state in Malaysia, a country located in South East Asia:

Here is the other video example from Selangor:

If you take a look at our Success Criteria, you can see some of the presenters have looked at it.  Ha, ha.

Here is another video, still in the realm of Storytelling, which is more like a performance.  This student, Noah St. John, tells a story, a very emotional one, and demonstrates how he engages the audience with a sense of enthusiasm and clarity.  You will also notice that his pace is too quick or too slow.  Enjoy.

Here is a final example of an 81 year old woman who talks about being a storyteller and we see glimpses of her story.

This morning, we will be looking at the New York Times Media/Journal exercise.
