How to Tell a Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling from The Moth | Catherine Burns, The Moth, Meg Bowles, Jenifer Hixson, Sarah Austin Jenness, Kate Tellers
post image
Pickpick

Do you have a story to tell? For over 25 years, The Moth has been bringing masterful storytellers to stages and radios across the country, and in this book they finally put their process of sourcing, shaping, and performing stories onto the page for all. How to Tell a Story reminded me why I believe in the power of stories to change the world, it made me more confident to tell my own, and it gave me the tools to tell my story and be heard.

Yay to all the teachers! 🥰

Lesliereadsalot I love this! 🩷 6d
lil1inblue Is someone cutting onions? 😅

There are 2 teachers in particular that I am reminded of when reading this. One from elementary school, and one from high school. They both inspired self-confidence when I needed it most. 💖

So much love to all the teachers! Y'all are heroes to me!

Creative book! I think kids would enjoy it. It's an easy read. It would be easy to tie this book to an activity in storytelling or writing. It talks about the versatility of stories.

The story ideas escape their jar. To get them back in, the class creates stories for the ideas.

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead I remember the GoT references in FairyTale & I was like “I wonder if they are friends” and I found an interview together where GRRM asked King how he can write so fast. …And I think about it a lot haha. 1mo
Karkar I kind really wish this was a thing. 1mo
