The Art of Storytelling: Life Into Words

This highly interactive virtual workshop focuses on the relevance of the spoken word and the oral tradition in an educational setting. Teachers can learn how to take a story off the page and bring it to life and how it can be used to support the curriculum.

Teachers will:
