Storytelling Workshop
Instructor: Rachel Pollock, Muskingum College
The Storytelling Workshop (Pollock, 2006) offers an opportunity for Communication educators to experience the breadth of storytelling in the classroom, first-hand. This short course activity challenges participants to orally create, develop, and revise personal identity stories, emphasizing communication goals and structuring messages from a familiar starting point, that of storytelling. The design of the workshop is simple: using story triggers from the Personal dictionary (Barkman, 2002) workshop participants orally create and revise stories in rotating pairs (storyspirals), record a written version of their text, then orally revise and retell their stories for an ethnographer/extended audience from the resulting transcript. Storytelling resources and alternate uses and extensions for the Storytelling Workshop (Pollock, 2006) will be distributed and discussed. Copies of the limited first-run of Barkman�s (2002) Personal dictionary will be made available for review. Archival information for follow-up will be provided to all participants.
