Online resources Note: Any link followed far enough will likely take you somewhere that you don't want to go, so please be careful as you visit these sites and never, ever let children surf alone! This is my sabbatical project from Spring 1999. It contains a number of activities and resources related to storytelling and writing across generations. Please share this with your family! The National Storytelling Network This is THE most important national storytelling organization going, and in its former incarnation as the National Storytelling Association is credited with reviving the art of storytelling in the last 30 years. This group sponsors an annual national storytelling festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee each October. (And they have GREAT quilt graphics on their website! :-) Here's a place where you can enjoy a little digital storytelling. You'll find a wide range of story-related activities of particular interest to children. This is a collection of Native American trickster tales. Doug Lipman's Storytelling Site Lipman is a specialist in Hasidic tales from the Jewish tradition. This site is packed with information and advice for storytellers and teachers. Listen to all sorts of storytellers telling stories and talking about their art. This is an infinite circle of websites dedicated to the art of storytelling. Check it out and let me know what you find here. This is a government publication that includes ideas on how to collect and preserve family stories. Telling Stories from Our Lives This page discusses the importance of sharing our personal stories. This is an incredibly rich collection of historical materials held by the Library of Congress. It is brimming with hiSTORY and would be a wonderful resource for teachers who want to use story to bring history to life. A highly interactive site, The Hero's Journey is a project of the Maricopa Center for Learning & Instruction (MCLI) and the South Mountain Community College Storytelling Institute.
