 Watch professional storytellers and take notes about how they do it
every storyteller is different, and you can learn something from them all.
 Pick stories with small numbers of characters and repeating events, as
these are easiest to remember. Having said that, pick any story you like --
no, that you love! If it captivates you, it will captivate the younger ones,
too.
 Write the stories down in a notebook. Writing helps you remember a
story, and it models the same to the children.
 When you start "telling" your story, it's OK to have the book nearby
and to take a look at it if you forget a part. Don't be too hard on yourself.
