Portfolio story videos: More fun, less fright!

For reasons that still baffle me enough to show the contrast, these storytelling videos were much more pleasant for me to record. I think it's because I can become someone else rather than having to remain my "proper" self. Thank goodness for the challenging stories told as Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel! Retelling Jabberwocky was fun, too :)

Thought I'd share this one as well! (It takes you to a page with coloring sheets and other story supplement materials.)

Animated 3 Little Pigs

This is a really cool, humorous version of the Three Little Pigs.

I tried to embed it here, but the HTML was messed up. So, I posted it to my Facebook page instead. Click the link at the top of this post if you wish to go and view it. It's a PowerPoint presentation :)

Technical frustrations...

Since I cannot access the class page, I'll write here. I'm sheepish to admit that I missed the email from Jenine that extended our storyset deadline until last night... That said, I'll be posting supplements to underscore my video work tomorrow. (I don't feel well tonight, so I'm going to bed soon and will be getting up early when I feel well enough to focus.)

See ya soon!

Storyset videos

To finish out my storyset which began with Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, I have recorded renditions of three fairy tale favorites. Enjoy!


In order of appearance from top to bottom : The Three Little Pigs in Alaska, Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel. These tales were chosen for their fairytale elements, their adaptability over generations and the creativity of using a few props. My favorite was then and still remains the 3 little Pigs in Alaska because my mom and I found that book our our summer cruise there a few years back. Amazon still sells it.

Kjersti and Carroll's "Jabberwocky"

For some weird reason, my Jabberwocky recording was posted twice... The file took FOREVER to upload, so... who knows :) My friend and I recorded three different tellings and then spliced them together to cut out some mistakes. (My hacking cough and spasm issues needn't be captured on film or shown via the "wonderful world of web...")

Here I am again! I love silly sounding stuff, so see what you think of Jabberwocky...
