Theatrical Storytelling
This is a very similar workshop for a different group of students as part of an elective in storytelling.
The material covers mime, sound effects, props, words, facial expressions, voice and placement, point of view and eye contact as part of storytelling. Then we move on to looking at puppetry - making and using puppets.
Here are the manuals for the first session. (Each participant needs a copy of the notes.)

A note about my PowerPoint presentations: Feel free to use the PowerPoint files, but notice that I don't fill them with notes for students to copy down. Each slide provides a focus (picture and heading), and then I expect my students to be listening to what I say - and participate in activities along the way. If this isn't your style, then you can:
- adapt them or
- create your own or
- try using this style anyway!
