Last week we talked about a lot of important aspects of telling a story, especially how to start one and what questions can prompt someone to tell a story. I thought that listening to the article by StoryCorps was very interesting because it talked about the different ways to tell a story and how family stories can be preserved in the library of Congress for years to come. Additionally, I liked how we all brainstormed ideas of how to tell a story, especially focusing on how to start one. I liked how Professor Dolson gave many different options for which story we decide to write about in this week’s prep note.

I liked the video we watched about the boys interviewing their father because even though it was different from what we have seen this semester, storytelling often comes at unexpected times by unexpected topics or questions. Overall, I thought this lesson was good preparation for our prep notes and helping to think ahead for our personal stories that will be due in a few weeks.

I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing break 🙂
