Today, we'll learn how to tell stories about important moments in your life. First, I'll introduce myself, and then you'll tell us a little about you. I'll give you a journal to write down your story ideas. Our main topic will be a time in your life that changed you. We'll think together about different words to describe your story, like exciting, funny, or sad, and I'll ask questions to help you think more about your story, like where you were, who was with you, and how you felt. After that, you'll practice telling your story to another student, listening to their story, asking questions, and giving friendly feedback. This workshop is a great way to learn how to share your experiences and connect with others through storytelling.
