There is no book on how to tell stories and what to tell. It is a call to go questing, an urge to follow the way of the storyteller as pilgrims followed the way of St. James in the Middle Ages, not for riches or knowledge or power, but that each might find something for which his soul had cried out. ~Ruth Sawyer, The Way of the Storyteller:

Course Description: The art of storytelling is perfected through presentation and self-evaluation. Students will develop their own styles and methods of presentation. Readings in folk literature as well as more contemporary and classical sources are required. Students will present stories regularly in class or elsewhere, plan storytelling programs and learn to evaluate and provide critiques of storytelling. Prerequisites or co-requisites: LIS 701, 704 Offered in spring and summer.

Welcome to LIS7180 GO1. This course will examine the history and techniques of storytelling in the library oral tradition. The primary emphasis in this class will be on the telling of traditional folktales to a specified target audience. Three storytelling presentations will be required of each student; all stories must be approved by the instructor. Available folk materials for children, research tools, online resources, and texts on storytelling, folktales, and narrative will also be examined. This is a class on oral presentation; nearly all written work will also be presented in class.

During this course, each student will participate in discussions re:

· the history of storytelling for youth in public libraries

· available folk literature for youth and its application in school and public libraries

· the evaluation of folk literature for youth

· library storytelling as a reading motivational tool

· current research in education, librarianship, and storytelling

· other related issues.

There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories. ~ Ursula Le Guin

Assignments (See class schedule for due dates)

1. Select, prepare, and tell to the class three 7-12 minute stories for targeted age groups. No text or props may be used. Focus on stories found in collections of traditional folktales. The stories should preferably be those for which you have found variants for comparison. The storytelling grade is based on the amount of individual improvement shown over the course of the class. All stories must be approved by the instructor. (30%)

2. Class discussion and participation, including evaluation of in-class storytelling presentations and participation in workshop-style exercises. (20%)

3. Compile an annotated bibliography of 20 folktale collections. This bibliography must be submitted in three parts throughout the semester as indicated by the schedule below. (20%)

4. Read, abstract, & present to class a book on storytelling or folktales. All books must be approved by instructor. (10%)

5. Read, abstract, & present to class an essay on storytelling or folktales. All essays must be approved by instructor. (10%)

6. Observe and evaluate a storytelling event; write up and present to class. (10%)

Class Participation Reiterated: Come to every class prepared to participate in critiquing of stories told as well as discussions and group activities related to assigned readings and to any other assignments. Open discussion is the rule in my class; any question or comment is relevant and valid. Infrequent class participation will substantially lower your overall grade for this course. (20%)

Preferred Format for Written Assignments

Written work should be double-spaced with 1 or 1.5 inch margins, with no less than 12 point type.

No title page is required. Your name, the class number (LIS 7180 GO1), the name of the assignment, and the due date, single-spaced, should be on the upper left hand corner of your written work. Please include your name in 10 point type in the footer of all standard format assignments

Storytelling at its best is mutual creation. Through the stories themselves and through the interaction between teller and listener, traditional storytelling goes beyond the surface child to speak to the inner child, to recreate and nurture the human spirit.

~Augusta Baker, Storytelling: Art and Technique.

The term “narrative” is often confused with the term “plot,” but they're not the same thing. If I tell you that the king died, and then the queen died, that's not narrative; that's plot. But, if I tell you that the king died, and then the queen died of a broken heart, that's narrative.

~Vladimir Nabokov

Grading

• Class participation is worth 20% of your grade.

• Infrequent class participation will substantially lower your overall grade.

• All assignments must be turned in by the due date in order to receive full credit. Due dates are not flexible unless an agreement is made with the professor at least 24 hours in advance of class time on the due date. Emergencies will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

• Grades for written assignments are based on clarity of writing, comprehensive attention to both the topic and the assignment requirements, quality of work, and visible demonstration of effort.

• General oral presentations are graded on the speaker’s ability to connect with the audience, organization of information, use of language, fluency, volume, use of visual aids, and adherence to time limits.

• Storytelling is graded on the amount of improvement shown over the length of the course.

• Professional, grammatically correct writing is expected. To state this requirement plainly, spelling, punctuation, and grammar count. If this is a problem, find someone whose skills you trust to proofread your written work, or go to the Learning Center (651-690-8160) for assistance. Please remember that spell-check is fallible.

For a refresher course on grammar and punctuation, see William Strunk, Jr.’s The Elements of Style. FQ Classics, 2007. (The fourth edition will do.)

“Through storytelling, children attune their ears to the flow of language, the imagery of worrds, the rhythms of speech, and the patterns of reading, long before they are capable of meeting these through reading print for themselves.”

Academic Honesty and Integrity

"All students of the GSLIS are expected to observe high standards of academic honesty and integrity. Any student whose conduct violates such standards may be subject to disciplinary action as determined by due process." (GSLIS Bulletin, p. 48)

Plagiarism is unethical and unprofessional and will result in project failure. Each student is responsible for understanding what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. See Purdue University's "Avoiding Plagiarism," http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_plagiar.html or Indiana University's "How to Recognize Plagiarism", http://education.indiana.edu/~istd/test.html if you are unsure about what is and what is not considered acceptable behavior when using other people's words and ideas.

GSLIS GRADING POLICY (Effective 12/15/2004)

According to the GSLIS Grading Policy, the grade for “good, solid work” that “demonstrates strong comprehension of the course materials” is a B+, not an A. Please see the policy that follows for additional clarification. The faculty of GSLIS Dominican uses the following guidelines when grading.

Grade	Numeric Equivalent	Definition
A	4.0	Outstanding achievement. Student performance demonstrates full command of the course materials and evinces a high level of originality and/or creativity that far surpasses course expectations; nearly flawless work.
A-	3.67	Excellent achievement. Student performance demonstrates thorough knowledge of the course materials and exceeds course expectations by completing all requirements in a superior manner.
B+	3.33	Good solid work. Student demonstrates strong comprehension of the course materials and exceeds course expectations on all tasks as defined in the course syllabus.
B	3.0	Satisfactory acceptable work. Student performance meets designated course expectations, demonstrates understanding of the course materials and performs at an acceptable level.
B-	2.67	Marginal work. Student performance demonstrates incomplete, substandard understanding of course materials, or absence of required work; indicates danger of falling below acceptable grading standard.
C+	2.33	Unsatisfactory work. Student performance demonstrates unsatisfactory understanding of course materials and inability to meet course requirements.
C	2.0	Unacceptable work. Student performance demonstrates incomplete and inadequate understanding of course materials.
C-	1.67	Poor work.
F	0.0	Failing grade.
