School Programs and Residencies
Why Add Storytelling to the Language Art Curriculum?
Through classroom lessons, activities, games, and performances students learn:
|
Folktale Festival
In a week-long residency, Janice leads students and teachers through story exercises and games based on folktales that increase proficiency with story structure, creativity, and vocabulary. Students learn to retell a favorite story using character voices and gestures.
Poetry On the Move
Students get hooked on poetry in its many forms as Janice performs. Janice makes traditional poetry attractive and accessible for students today.
Dance The Story
Since early time, people have used dance to tell stories. In this program, students recreate folktales through directed movement and dance.
Digital Storytelling
Students explore the creative process of digital storytelling. Students create digital versions of stories including movies, Voice Threads, slide shows, movies, and podcasts.
Janice also presents programs for teachers. See Workshops For Teachers.
