Stories of the Beginning of the World - Teaching Tips
 Back to Stories of the Beginning of the World Activities
- It is important that students begin to have a sense of the traditions of their own region. Investigate what resources are available from Native American storytellers in your area. If possible, invite a local Native American storyteller to your class or play a recorded performance from an audio- or videocassette. Your reference librarian should be able to help you locate resources.
- Students can learn about the performative nature of storytelling by telling stories themselves. Have students pick one of the legends, memorize it, and recite it as an engaging story to the class. You may want to have students work in groups so that they can coach one another or work on smaller segments.
