Storytelling/Children's Book Reading Presentation

One partner will be the designated teller; the other will be the sound-effects provider. Effects should represent mood of piece, and may represent the period or not. It should be creative. The sound effects provider must also present a one minute explanation of why the partnership chose to present as they did, including choice of sound effects. During the performance, the teller must speak from memory, though improvisation is allowed and encouraged. You are preparing for presentation tomorrow.
