Students will be exposed to a storyteller who is an African American woman, accompanied by a guitar player to show how music enhances the story. The children will be inspired to tell their own stories or create new ones. They will gain a great understanding of African American history and culture, as well as the creativity of stories accompanied by music. Surveys filled out by teachers and/or students.
All elementary students in Sauk Centre experienced our presentation by Danielle Daniel and enjoyed it very much. They were engaged by Ms. Daniel and Elliot Roche and participated in the story. She concluded each one with a "moral," emphasizing how the children could incorporate it into their own actions. We distributed surveys to the teachers and students to get their reaction.
