Items related to Creative Storytelling: Building Community/Changing...
This practical manual encourages storytellers, primary school teachers and public librarians to play an active part in interactive storytelling that has the power to create and strengthen a sense of community for students, teachers and parents. It does not prescribe any one storytelling method, but rather shares existing and proven methods with guidelines for both use and adaption. The text focuses on storytelling to children between the ages of six and ten, but it has relevance for all age groups including nursery and adults. The storytelling programme includes stories to work with - introducing various literary genres such as fantasy, legend and science fiction - in an active "hands-on" manner so that children's writing, reading, acting and drawing skills are animated.

Review:
"Zipes describes his own ventures in classroom storytelling and outlines the process for teachers to follow...A good "Notes and Sources" section and an extensive bibliography complete this concise and very useful aid to storytelling at all levels of the classroom."
-"Library Journal
"Without being overly scholarly, he whets the appetite, allowing teachers to develop their material according to time and interest. . . . [a] concise and very useful aid to storytelling . . .."
-"Publishers Weekly
"After a solid discussion of why integration of storytelling in schools and libraries is a good idea, Zipes goes on to discuss the different kinds of tales and offers specific telling techniques that can facilitate the kind of experience he thinks storytelling should be. . . . Not everyone will agree with Zipes' methods or conclusions, but this is certainly thought provoking."
-"Booklist
"This is a remarkable book, the best of the many books about storytelling that I have read... he [Zipes] has a programme and a clear sense of just what stories are and do... Zipes argument that storytelling can build an informed and critical citizenry and a cohesive community is presented with precision and informative examples...I cannot but admire his enterprise... The idea is a community without competition, violence or exploitation. Such a community is devoutly to be wished, and Zipes's book keeps such a wish alive and strong.."
-"Journal of Educational Thought, Winter 1996
"Zipes emphasizes that fairytales have remained influential because they are at heart utopian, celebrating "the capacity of people from all walks of life to survive disaster and change their lives..""
