Eshu Bumpus: Storyteller Extraordinaire

Exciting Week with Storyteller Residency!
During the first week of January, the PTF sponsored a week of storytelling workshops with Eshu Bumpus, master storyteller.  He captivated his audience by telling a variety of African, African-American and World folktales leavened with music, humor and mystery.  Students were treated to a storytelling performance and then Eshu conducted writing workshops in each classroom.  He used games and writing templates to walk students through the steps to create original, non-violent stories. 

Thank you to the PTF for this great experience!!!
