About Our Storytelling Project
2008 was the second year that a storytelling ArtsSmarts project was run at Holy Cross. Students in grades 4-6 worked with storyteller Dale Jarvis to learn local legends and world folktales. The young tellers learned how to break a story down into pieces through a story mapping exercise, learned the plot of the story, and then told their stories to each other. Students in K-3 worked with storyteller Mary Fearon and puppeteer Darka Erdelji on stories and rhymes.
