Storytelling Speech & Day 1 Homework

January 20th, 2016 by caromero

Everyone has at some time or another been a storyteller. You told your tale to an audience, hoping to get a reaction—laughter, empathy, or maybe even fear. For this speech, you will choose a story to tell the class. Your story options are listed below, but whatever you choose, you need to consider the incidents of the story and the order in which they occur. A story must have details and description to bring it to life and make the story clearer to the audience. Make sure that your story is appropriate for the audience.

Where I am From
Learned the Hard Way
The First Time
Lost and Found
Up the Family Tree

See the attached assignment sheet for more details: Storytelling speech
