Story Telling

My story telling experience began at the KOA in Bozeman, MT. It was my family reunion and I have about twenty little cousins. (I know that seems like a lot, but its the truth!) I told them my favorite story about the sword and the stone. It was getting close to bed time, so I knew i had better keep it interesting. I had them help turn the pages in the book and even once in a while i had them help me read a couple of lines. Telling stories to young children can be kind of difficult, because they can ask questions before you get to the main points. I learned that you kind of have to go with the flow and let it be for the kids, so that you know at least they are enjoying it. I also learned that voice tone is very important especially depending on the type of audience that you are telling the story to. For children you need to have several different tones such as a lower one for more intense parts and a lighter happier one for just normal parts. This storytelling was a great experience it taught us how to interact with our audience's and also get the myth or story across to the audience.
