Jesus the Story Teller -- 37 parables

The Parable of the Good Samaritan Luke 10

25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”

29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance apriest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.35 And the next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”

Story telling

Tell me a story daddy,

The core of religion class and Sunday school,

Jokes, George and the cherry tree, Honest Abe,

Common Core requires that students create narratives: from kindergarten on....

Kids love to tell stories.... we have to cut them off in class... can I just tell you....

Give them a device and have them save it for later

Bank it for later refinement....

It is still writing when they dictate it to a device and the device does the typing...

Bank that story:

Let's get them published!

How to write a paper:

1. Talk to the device, stop typing; speak the first draft.

2. read and edit the second draft.

3. have the device read it to you. Then listen to it again.

4. Now edit a third draft. Is it ready for prime time?

5. Don't print it. Share it. Publish it. Let Grandma print it and put it on her shelf!

You do it now!

Story telling - The Art

How to tell a great story from a great story teller (sorry about the one word)

Andrew Stanton on Telling Stories:

1. Make me care

2. Make a promise that the story will lead to a worth while place.

3. Make the audience work for their meal.

4. Organize an absence of information

5. The Unifying theory of 2+2-- That is, make them put it together.

6. The main character must have a spine-- acknowledge what drive you.

7. Change is fundamental in story.

8. Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty.

9. Like your main character.

10. Story has a theme, a meaning.

11. can you invoke wonder?

12.Use what you know -- capture truth from experience.

Writing Your Story: What's Your Problem?

Every story needs to have a climax. The climax is a problem or challenge that needs to be solved or overcome. Everything in the story builds towards the climax.

What's Your Hook?

Your story starts with a mystery or a question that needs to be answered (a “hook”) - relates to the problem or challenge but doesn’t spoil it by giving the answer. Make your audience want to keep watching to see what will happen next.

Building your Story

Every story has a setting. Where does your story take place?
Next, how did the challenge or problem begin? Provide some background info. Here is where you establish a need or a desire in your viewer to WANT to see this problem solved.
What about your main character? Who are they? What events in their life helped prepare them to deal with this problem or challenge?
What was your character's plan to deal with the problem or challenge?
What actually happened? What was the result? (Here is where you solve the mystery or answer the question)

If you are telling the story of true events, then here is where you will need to dig in and do some research to find the answers to these questions. If you are creating a fictional story, here is where you need to get creative and think about how you will answer these questions. Sometimes even fiction stories require a little research to make them seem plausible.

Storyboarding:

A digital story has both visual and sound elements. A storyboard helps you put your story together. Here you break your story into chunks and decide what visual and sound elements you will use to tell your story.

Gathering Your Resources:

Once you have a storyboard, it's time to start collecting visual and audio resources. The first, best option would be to create these yourself, but if you can't there is a plethora of online resources.
