Event Description:
The theme of Storytelling for the 2018-19 school year is Western Tales. The focus of the presentation must be on the narrative, with the teller acting as a presenter and not a performer. Single published, printed story, anecdote, tale, myth, or legend must be retold without the use of props. The maximum time is five minutes, but the story may be briefer without penalty. An introduction must be included within the five minute time limit. The use of a manuscript is optional. The story may be delivered standing or seated in a chair or combination of both.
