Group Project

As was mentioned during class, my group had the chapter on tradition. We therefore decided to do an "oral" presentation that would have us connecting with the audience in a way that we imagined many Native American speakers would connect with their audiences. We used the music to create the illusion of being at an oral presentation given by a native Tribes man. My story was one that we are all familiar with, spring defeating winter. It is a cyclical story that has an old man, Winter, traveling the globe until he stops in a place to build his lodge. There he stays making the world cold until a young man, Spring, comes along and he melts away, only to appear somewhere else. It is a constant story of the cyclical.

I hope that everyone found the presentation to be enjoyable and that you all learned a little something about the process of oral story telling.
