Story Telling Treasure...
In his workshop, "Using stories to get your message across", Dunstan Chan, DTM, mentioned that internet is an avenue for you to find stories you can use...
I have a treasure to share with you - not only there are the stories, but you can LISTEN TO as well as read them!
It is a free online collection of stories and poems in Mp3 (audiobook) format. You can:
* Download the files to your Mp3 player and listen on the go,
* Listen to the Mp3 files on your computer,
* View the text on a webpage and read along as you listen,
* Print out the stories and poems to make your own book.
There are four ways to get started:
1. Browse by Author. You can pick your stories by the author's last name.
2. Browse by Title. You can pick your stories by title.
3. Search Database. You can search the collection by title, author, keywords or reading level.
An abstract, citation, playing time, and word count are given for each of the passages. Many of the passages also have a related reading strategy identified. Each reading passage can also be downloaded as a PDF and printed for use as a read-along or as supplemental reading material for your classroom.
4. Launch iTunes. If you have iTunes software installed on your computer, you can download many of the selections directly into your iTunes library. The free iTunes application for either Macintosh or Windows computers may be downloaded directly from Apple, Inc.
I hope you will find this site very helpful, specially if you are doing the StoryTelling / Advanced Manuals. You will certainly find the audio files very helpful to master the art of vocal varieties...
Even if you are not you might just enjoy listening to them, or prefer to keep themas a collection...
You never know when you will become a grandfather and need to tell stories to your grandchildren...
Have Fun...

Be Thankful...
Be Thankful...
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary
Because it means you've made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.
GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings...

Thought of the Day...
Someone once said:
"If you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what you are getting."
If you are not happy with where you are in life, *make a change*.
There is no guarantee that your life will improve, but it is better than doing nothing...
