Storytelling for the Modern Human

Storytelling has been a part of human history for thousands of years. It is the most beautiful and connected way to share knowledge.

Ancestral stories have helped humans make sense of many things in nature, and the wisdom of Mother Earth was explained in thoughtful ways for everyone to understand.

Nowadays, Climate change has made Mother Earth behave in a very different way; violent, angry, sad, even distant. But it was not Mother Earth who turned her back on us; it was humanity, or a great portion of it, that turned their backs on nature.


Your Project

Read the book Children of the Thunderbird and see how the stories evolve to explain how things came to be.

Now, think of the current state of nature and Mother Earth.

Create a story filled with magic to explain Mother Earth's perspective.

Tell this story to three people.

Get their feedback. What did they think of your story?

Make an illustration to go with your story.

Place your story, your illustration and the feedback inside your binder, under Storytelling and Meaning.
