Do you get inspired and think of a story or write one when you listen to music, look at a photo, image or watch a movie? Perhaps you have many stories to tell but never had a chance to tell them. If you are curious, want to share your stories, or just listen to others', add your name to the list in preparation for a mini-conference on storytelling.

The 2006 Five-Minute Folktale Challenge
Two folk tales shown on the video below are by Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss: The Stolen Smell, and A Tale of Two Frogs. These two tales illustrate lessons students can develop to engage an audience's attention while encouraging discussion on the outcome of positive attitudes. <kaltura-widget kalturaid='ckgthuz00c' size='L' align='C'/> <kaltura-widget kalturaid='dz7p9akgf4' size='L' align='C'/>
