Rationale
The Imagination Fair for grades 1 – 3, allows students to showcase storytelling in an interactive
format. Prior to the event, students research various forms and genres of storytelling, learn
about stories from other cultures and discover the impact of storytelling throughout history.
They then either choose a story or create their own story to tell during the Imagination Fair.
They will also have an opportunity to enjoy hearing as well as interacting with a professional
storyteller. In addition, students will participate in a hands-on creative problem solving activity
and share their ideas with other students.
Region 7 Education Service Center
Region 7 ESC is one of 20 regional education service centers statewide that participates in the
planning, development, coordination, implementation and evaluation of innovative educational
programs. Region 7 currently serves 106 school districts, the largest amount of school districts
of any Education Service Center in the state.
Housed in the Center for Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, Advanced Academic Services
(Gifted and Talented Education) works to provide educators the necessary training and
professional development they need in order to “differentiate,” or make appropriate curricular
and instructional matches and modifications, for students who have been identified as gifted.
One of many programs that Region 7 offers for student participation and inter-district
communications is The Imagination Fair.

How to Select the Right Story
Storytelling folklore says, “Storytellers don’t pick stories, stories pick
storytellers.” A story that works well for one storyteller may not work well for
another. The most important question for a storyteller to ask is, “Do I like this
story?” There is a wide variety of tales from which to choose: folktales, fairy
tales, myths, legends, fables, fantasy, and modern literature—both fiction and
nonfiction.
The story you choose should have:
• one main plot with a logical sequence of events that create clear and
vivid pictures in the mind of the listener.
• a variety of sensory and visual images that create a “movie in the mind”
of the audience. The language should be descriptive and colorful.
• a limited number of characters.
• colorful characters who are interesting and believable or, in the case of a
traditional fairy tale, who clearly represent qualities such as greed,
beauty, and goodness.
• emotional appeal, courage, love, laughter, excitement, sentiment, and
plenty of action.
• a strong introduction that grabs the audience’s attention, sets the mood,
and leads swiftly into action.
•
a satisfying conclusion.

Learning and Presenting Stories
1. Find or write a simple story that you truly enjoy.
2. Read the story several times, both silently and orally.
3. Put the story away and visualize the story. Make a movie in your mind
imagining the character, setting, and action.
4. Think through the sequence of events. Make a story map or outline of
the story.
5. Think through the characterization of each person in the story. How
will you distinguish one from another? Do you need to add dialogue? Is
there extraneous detail that adds nothing to the story?
6. How will you begin and end the story? How will you “grab” the
audience? Are there any of the author’s phrases that you want to be sure
to use?
7. Read the story again. Then, using the outline or story map, tell the story
out loud without an audience.
8. Put the map or outline down and say it again out loud. If you get stuck,
refer back to the outline or the map.
9. Practice one more time, alone. You may wish to tape yourself and
review the tape, listening for gaps in the story.
10. Tell the story to a small group in the classroom.
