STORYTELLING

Today we had Miss Miller come to share with us some wonderful stories from around the world.
Our questions are: How do stories help connect us globally? Why is it so important to keep the tradition of storytelling alive?

  2. Hi Ellie here.
    In my opinion I think that you should definitely keep storytelling alive! Why: because sometimes you CAN find out information in stories,poems,pictures ect. It's boring if you are always looking up stuff on the computer or in a book-but thats just what I think!

    Bye
    from Ellie :)

  3. It's good to keep the history from the stories that you tell in your families. Life would get boring if there were no stories! Emma.

  10. If people didn't tell stories the world would be very boring. If we didn't tell stories it would almost be like giving up your imagination because stories help your imagination grow.

    the storyteller was really good because like every storyteller she had really good expretion but not only that but she really made it sink in instead of just drifting of like something without that specal effect that only the best story tellers have.

  24. McKeely, I've posted your comment under my name because I had to fix up a bit of spelling. Make sure you proofread before posting O Wise One.
    Hi Mckeely here
    I think that we should always listen to old stories sometimes to keep history alive!
    I loved the horse story the most.
