Elem: Storytelling

[Mary Ludwick <ludwickm@LISD.NET>]

I want to work with 3rd graders on a storytelling unit.  I am having
trouble with a series of lesson ideas.
I can come up with 1 lesson and then I draw a blank.
Lesson one:  Talk about a good story must have a beginning, a  middle
and an ending in which the audience can tell it is the end.  Talk about
the storyteller must have expression in the voice, make eye contact and
use some body language with the story.  Demonstrate by telling a story.
Then talk about what the storyteller did with these elements.

Then I get stuck:  What can I do next, other than ask children to select
a story, practice and tell to the class?  I am sure *something* needs to
happen.
