STEPS TO STORYTELLING. M. HUDSON

Learning can be easy and there is no memorization required.
1. Find a story you enjoy.
2. Read it over enough times so that you are very familiar with it.
3. Think about it. What does it mean? Of what does it remind you ?
4. Write a short version out. Read it aloud.
5. Visualize the parts of the story: the beginning, the middle, and the end.
6. Practice telling the story: out loud, in a mirror, to family and friends.

Before long you too can be a storyteller whose most common phrase might be….”let me tell you a story.”
