Coming Up: We are going to start the Storytelling Unit. Everyone will have to tell a story. We will start with stories that at first are familiar to us, but eventually we will tell stories of things that are possibly less familiar to us. The idea here is to be able to "jump start" the imagination as quickly as possible. Concepts that we'll look at: character, climax, "punch line", delivery, and body language.
