                                     Dear Teachers, Fellow Storytellers, and Interested Story-lovers,

Here are some pages that I hope you find helpful in your classroom. I have taken my 11 years as a classroom teacher and my years as a storyteller, since 1981, to find ways to enhance the classroom and entrance your students through storytelling. I give free use to all my thoughts and gatherings...but I would like to know, if you used them and your comments. That will help me in choosing future topics. Please write to me at Marilyn Kinsella.

Marilyn is a published author!!! "Storytelling and QAR Strategies" Read all about it...

"When telling, when you let go of the script, the teller taps into the creative spirit. I feel that reading, although it has many, many other benefits, does not allow the reader to enter into the creative moment. Yes, you can read expressively and add your own interpretation, but it does not allow for that precious moment when your words, actions, and emotions flow along with the creative spirit at the helm. I guess it's the same in other arts as well. Once you know something, you can take it and make it your own."
