Storytelling

Rising Grades 3 to 4

Bring your stories to life with confidence and creativity.

In this public speaking and storytelling course, students explore the art of creative expression through writing, speaking, and acting. They learn the essentials of storytelling—creating characters, developing plots, and delivering engaging performances—while building confidence in public speaking with lessons on voice, body language, and emotional expression.

Students work on multi-day projects that bring their storytelling skills to life. Projects include creating a storybook with illustrations, developing a mini play or skit with classmates, crafting an original monologue, recording a storytelling video, or delivering a personal hero speech. These projects allow students to practice each stage of storytelling, from writing and rehearsal to performance.

By the end of the course, students complete projects that showcase their growth in storytelling and public speaking. They gain confidence in their ability to create and share memorable stories, leaving the course with both new skills and a sense of pride in their creative accomplishments.
