Dramatic Storytelling Course

Grade Levels 4-5

Dramatic Storytelling (GL 4-5)

Part I: At the core of any type of great speech or presentation is a well-told story. Stories take us on a mental and emotional journey that connects the speaker and audience. A valuable first step in learning how to tell an engaging story is through learning about and crafting tall tales. In this Public Speaking Course, students will listen to and explore the backgrounds of many old and much-beloved tall tales, work in small groups to create their own tall tale, present them to their classmates on the last day of the course.

Part II: Continuing from Dramatic Storytelling Part I, students will analyze additional tall tales. By the end of this Public Speaking Course, students will have created their own tall tale that takes their audience on a mental and emotional journey that connects the speaker and audience. Students will present them to their classmates on the last day of the course. Part I must be completed prior to taking Part II.
