Useful storyteller websites - Education

                                                                                              

Take some time and peruse the following sites. They are full of curriculum ideas, bibliographies, links to other websites, and...stories! Many of the ideas that I developed came from other tellers doing the same work that I do. It's sort of like storytelling. You take the basic premise but then add some twists and turns and suddenly they are yours. These masterful storytellers are very generous with their ideas and deserve praise for being the "wind beneath my creative wing." Hopefully, they will become yours, also.
