Storytelling Performance and Paper\u00a0Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Storytelling Assignment:<\/p>\n

Tell us a story. Prepare a 7-8 minute telling of \u00a0a folk tale or fairy tale that is related to your own culture of origin ( like the Creation Story in “The Truth About Stories.”) \u00a0You should\u00a0learn a story by heart, and tell it to the class.<\/p>\n

Your performance should last no more than EIGHT\u00a0minutes. It can be less. You will perform this story on either Oct 31\u00a0or Nov 2, in class.<\/p>\n

Your performance will be graded that day, using a rubric, and it is worth 10 points.<\/p>\n

As part of preparing your story, you will do some research and writing. The goals of this set of assignments are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. use writing as a way to understand a story and to prepare to tell the story to an audience.<\/li>\n
  2. practice good information literacy skills in order to obtain useful resources for choosing and understanding your story<\/li>\n
  3. analyze pieces of the story in order to arrive at a conception of the whole<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First, you will do some \u201creading around\u201d and research to find a story that you want to work on. \u00a0You can find resources to help with this on our library guide, prepared by Lucretia McCulley:\u00a0http:\/\/libguides.richmond.edu\/FYS_storytelling<\/a><\/p>\n

    Second, you will prepare an\u00a0Annotated Bibliography<\/a> of the sources you find useful to the \u00a0history and background of the story, as well as other interesting sources that will help you tell the story. \u00a0Due Dates are on the Weekly Schedule (Oct 24) and\u00a0RUBRIC is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Third, you will prepare a Story History and Performance Plan<\/a> of\u00a0about 3 pages which tells about your story, your personal connection to it, and analysis of the story\u00a0connected to your plan for performance. Due: Oct 26 (see Weekly Schedule to be sure) Instructions\u00a0 and rubric are here.<\/a>\u00a0 Be sure to read Denise Bennett’s tips<\/a> and Lipman’s Instructions<\/a> as part of your preparation.<\/p>\n

    Finally, you will perform your story on either Oct. 31 or Nov 2. \u00a0Tell the story to ENGAGE your audience and in a way that\u00a0\u00a0conveys meaning. Use your\u00a0voice, tone, expressions, gestures, etc.<\/p>\n
