So Here's the Story: The Craft and Art of Storytelling for HomeSchoolers

Time and Date: 2-3:30 pm.  This class is held on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of every month beginning Oct 10.  Students may join at any time.

Fee: $75/month

Program Description: Storytelling is the oldest form of organized communication and it exists in infinite variety.  Stories can be told with words (stories, novels, anecdotes, jokes, riddles, etc.) with pictures (art, sculpture, etc.), with music (songs of all kinds) and even body language (mime, etc.).  Stories don't have to be written down, and they don't have to be like anyone else's.  In this unique program bestselling and award-winning author Jonathan Maberry teaches the history of storytelling through a hands-on process.  Students will learn about different methods of storytelling and will then create their own stories in each mode (scripts, poems, short stories, oral stories, and more!).  Those students who want to perform or read their stories will have the chance during one of our exciting First Friday events.  Students may choose to have their stories published on the Writers Corner USA website (on a special page we're building just for this class).  This program cultivates the skills of imagination, communication, language, and more.
