The New Year is here and that
means it’s time to begin sharing my 2018 columns from the National Storytelling
Magazine. This information below appeared in the Spring 2018 issue; the theme
was ‘Storytelling World.’
I do not post these resources
until the year, in which they appeared, has past. Should you wish to receive
the new 2019 resources in a timely manner it’s as simple as becoming a member
of the National
Storytelling Network. The publication offers outstanding articles
from well-known storytellers and educators from around the world on a wide
variety of topics, and of course, stories. If
you would like to become a member please visit https://storynet.org/membership/ .
At the
end of the blog you will also find links to all of my columns from 2007 – 2017.
At the time they were posted all of the links were active. If you find a dead
link please let me know and I will do my best to find the updated source.
I hope you find something useful
to add to your storytelling repertoire or classroom activities. As always, I
welcome your comments at the end of the blog.
