Creative Storytelling Building Community Changing Lives

Creative Storytelling encourages storytellers, primary school teachers and public librarians to play an active part in this process, proposing an interactive storytelling that has the power to create and strengthen a sense of community for students, teachers and parents. This practical, down-to-earth manual does not prescribe any one storytelling method, but rather shares existing and proven methods with guidelines for both use and adaption. Zipes focuses on storytelling to children between the ages of 6 and 10, but his ideas have relevance for all age groups including nursery and adults. His storytelling programme includes stories to work with - introducing various literary genres such as fantasy, legend and science fiction to children in an active 'hands-on' manner so that their writing, reading, acting and drawing skills are animated.Zipes, Jack D. is the author of 'Creative Storytelling Building Community Changing Lives', published 1995 under ISBN 9780415912723 and ISBN 0415912725.
