Bring History to Life with Storytelling
<P>Years ago when I was in school, there was one subject that I disliked and dreaded — history. I have discovered in recent years that I love history and the reason I hated it in school was the method of teaching, not the subject. Learning dates, names, and facts was boring and difficult. But now that I am hearing, learning and creating historical stories, the subject has come to life — it is exciting, interesting and captivating. One of the most popular and asked for workshop that I give has the title of this column, so I will share some of the same techniques I share in my workshop.
