Coming to your teacher's box soon..."More exciting than TV, it requires no batteries and runs on the power of your own imagination. Old as the hills and fresh as the dew, it teaches, entertains and inspires. We call it storytelling." Story Themes for the 13th Annual Storytelling Writing Contest Storytelling Writing ContestOur October story-writing contest prompts youth with "story starters" that inspire their imagination and lead them into writing a story that is then judged by a panel of judges. Young authors’ stories must be original and be about the specific topic in the categories for the writer’s age group. Stories are judged on their “oral” qualities. Grand Authors, selected from first place winners in each grade category at each elementary school, tell their stories at an international storytelling celebration, occurring all over the world (and also in Mariposa!). TELLABRATION! Saturday, November 22, 2008, 7:00 PM
This wonderfully youth-inspirational performance is great family fun. Please bring your camera, relatives and friends to join us at 7:00 pm on Saturday, November 22nd, in the Best Western Conference Room – intersection of Hwy 140 and Hwy 49 South.
