Using the "Storytellers" Video
We all tell stories. The people you will see on this video have made storytelling their life's work. Some tales will provide you with new information about famous people and events; some will teach you about another culture. Some of the stories will make you laugh. A couple might bring a tear to your eyes. Every one of the stories and their tellers are guaranteed to entertain you. As you enjoy these storytellers and their tales, think about the many techniques that the tellers use to draw you into their messages.

Turner South and Turner Learning, Inc. wish to thank these six dedicated and talented artists for providing a wonderful window into the enjoyable and educational world of storytelling. We hope you have been entertained, moved, and delighted by the tellers and their tales.

Now it's your turn. What great story do you know - either from your own life, or from what you have learned about another person, event, culture, or book - that you would like others to know too? Think about the many techniques you have seen these storytellers use to make their stories come to life, and practice using the skills that will make your stories real for your listeners. Enjoy!
