Fullerton : Professional Storyteller Will Present Workshop
Professional storyteller Ken Haven will conduct a one-day workshop Thursday at Orangethorpe School to train students how to write and tell stories better.
The workshop is a prelude to the school’s weekly storytelling exercise, said sixth-grade teacher Lisa Friedberg.
Each Friday, two sixth-grade classes and one special education class get together and tell stories. Afterward, the students do a follow-up activity that relates to the story--usually an art project.
Haven, a resident of Alameda in Northern California, has traveled throughout the Southland for the last three years with his theatrical style of storytelling, captivating audiences of all ages.
Also, he has appeared on the children’s show “Romper Room” and has won several storytelling awards.
The workshop will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the school, 1400 S. Brookhurst St.
