'Story making'

Claire Druett is a storyteller in Edinburgh. She came along to help us create stories about the experiences we had been through over the Our Natural Programme.

Claire started with a general talk about Stories and why they are important and why Edinburgh specifically is a good place for making and telling stories.  Then, we made short stories ourselves. 

First, everyone was asked to contribute a good luck or bad luck idea to a story. Then we then moved on to taking words out of the story bag. Everyone had a word, and had to make a sentence with that word. The next person had to carry on the story and use their word. After this, we started building in the words/places/buildings/trees into the story that mirrored where we had visited over the last few weeks.
