During the sessions, students will learn the fundamental elements of storytelling and publishing. They will learn key story elements such as protagonist, antagonist, rising action, climax, and falling action. They will determine the social justice-related problem that their characters face and the creative solutions that their characters will employ to solve the social justice challenges and create a better world.
The teaching artists will then coach students through the process of writing and revising their own stories before the stories are translated into Spanish and then printed. Master drummers and vocalists will also teach students how to play the djembe drums and sing as an accompaniment to stories. Additionally, students will be coached in Spanish and English elocution in preparation for their storytelling performance. Finally, the entire program will culminate in a performance and a book launch event.
