Interactive Storytelling Second Edition

Education Resources Award Winner for Special Education.

Interactive storytelling where the story is spoken or chanted, began as a way to include individuals with severe and profound learning disabilities in larger group activities, whether children in school or adults in day services.

• The stories are performed in call-and-response - one person calls out a line and the rest of the group respond either by calling back the same line or by calling out a pre-arranged response - and require no previous experience in drama or storytelling.
• They can be performed anywhere, by anyone.

This hands-on manual will enable teachers, therapists, parents and anyone working with children or adults in community settings to use performance and recital to bring stories, drama and poetry to life for people of all abilities.
