Storytelling is the most ancient method of teaching.

Fran's "VILLAGE STORYTELLING" residencies involve students in oral retelling, creative dramatics, story creation, critical thinking, and much more.

A typical residency includes:

Assemblies for all students
Training the "target group" as storytellers
Multicultural world tales and curriculum integrated follow-up activities for other classes
At least one teacher workshop
Optional: performance and/or workshop for parents, community members
