Story deconstructed #01*

A story is like a taco meal!

• gathering all those food ingredients you need and then making a taco >>

• eating, munching, smiling and really sensing all the flavours and textures >

• ending up with that sensational plate of yummy mess >

• sitting back and appreciating the experience;

• considering seconds and wondering about desert, hmmm.

Disclaimer: Soz if you don’t like tacos, even if you leave off the cheese and substitute green lentils for the meat.

• as a Storyteller: you shared a highlight, or typed it in the comments.

If you didn’t do this, please go to Share a highlight from your last week and complete the exercise you find there.

These were simple stories! Time to analyse these. You will be prompted to do so with the questions below.

There are five parts of a story to consider as a storyteller or to discern as a story listener.
