Storytelling and Writing: Empowering Children to Write and Tell Stories

by Author Valerie Marsh

Two fun and easy ways to write using art! If your students are 'reluctant writers,' create excitement by using the unique writing methods of paper-cutting and drawing. Your students enjoy a paper-cutting story and a draw and tell story. Then they can create their own fiction, nonfiction or personal narratives using these hands-on techniques! (We adapt this program to your grade level.) Valerie's books include True Tales of Heroes and Heroines, A Treasury of Trickster Tales, Paper-Cutting Stories for Holidays, and Tangram Story Puzzles.

The park also preserves evidence of a diverse human history including the Chiricahua Apache, Buffalo Soldiers, European American pioneers and ranchers, and the Civilian Conservation Corps. We're celebrating our centennial this year - there's never been a better time to learn about this "hidden gem!"
