| Class Description | The course design will attempt to strike a balance between training in the art of storytelling in practice (this component will have an emphasis on technique, performance, and audience dynamics) and cognitive development in the foundations of history, theory, methods, and bibliographic resources related to storytelling. The instructor's goals are to assist students with the development of story selection, preparation, and telling skills; planning programs and projects in schools, libraries, and other settings; and developing a deeper understanding of the nature of story and its applications in research, the student's work, or personal endeavors. Online class discussions will center around assigned readings, all stories told, and instructor-led topics.
