Register your home school family or group for the 20th Printing Partners Hoosier Storytelling Festival at Military Park in downtown Indianapolis. During each session, three storytellers will share their stories.
These storytelling performances are easily integrated into your curriculum. To assist with this process, a Teacher’s Guide complete with biographical sketches, on-line resources and bibliographies is available on our web-site at www.storytellingarts.org.
Engage your studens in a unique way by attending the Printing Partners Hoosier Storytelling Arts Festival. Storytelling fits into the state's standards for English and language arts. Last year we hosted 6,000 students, grades K-12, from the International School to Chatard High School, Carmel, IPS, and Franklin.
