Rostkowski, as the recipient of the 12th Annual Karen J. Ashton Storytelling Award. Margaret I. Rostkowski After graduating with a BA in history from Middlebury College in Vermont and earning a Master of Arts in Teaching at the University of Kansas, Margaret began a remarkable teaching career that spans nearly four decades of inspiring young writers with the magic of words and the courage to find their own voices. Her 23-year tenure at Ogden High School was marked by many important contributions including the development, with several other faculty members, of an innovative humanities program. After retiring from more than 35 years in the Ogden School District, Margaret is currently teaching at St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Ogden. Margaret counts her long association with the Utah Writing Project as some of her most important work. Not only did the Writing Project serve as a stimulus for her own writing, but also it proved an avenue of renewal for her teaching and provided a community of mutual professional support. Margaret currently serves as the co-director of the Wasatch Range Writing Project. She has been a presenter for young adult literature and writing workshops for the Utah Writhing Project, Utah Library Association and the Utah Endowment for the Humanities. A writer herself, Margaret published several young adult novels for which she received numerous awards including the American Library Association’s Best Books for Young Adults.

One of the unique aspects of the Weber State University Storytelling Festival is having student storytellers on the same stages as professional storytellers. This practice makes ours one of the premier storytelling festivals in the country. Hundreds of young people from kindergarten through high school have told stories at the WSU Storytelling Festival since it began in 1996. Many children who had their first on-stage suc- cesses here, followed up with speech and drama activities in middle and high school. Generally, student storytellers are good students and avid readers. Many search throughout the year for good material for the next Storytelling Festival. Children from throughout the area participate in a variety of storytelling activities in their schools prior to the Festival. From these, approximately 70 are selected to tell their stories at the Festival. They rehearse, tell their stories to other children at school, to residents in nursing homes, to friends and to any grandparent, aunt or uncle who will listen. Families develop storytelling traditions. Parents assist children in selecting, memorizing and rehearsing their stories for the Festival. Younger children want to be like their older brothers and sisters and tell stories to their stuffed animals and dolls. Families tell stories at family gatherings and in the car while they. are traveling. Children remember and retell the stories they heard from the adults with whom they shared the stage. The Festival is indebted to teachers and media specialists who encourage the art of storytelling in their schools and to parents who support and assist their children in preparing for performance.

A lively and entertaining hands-on workshop experience. Education Building Room 325 Tuesday, February 26, 2:00 to 2:50 p.m. Willy Claflin - Where Were We in ’73? This is a program of “living history”; specifically a comic saga of counter-culture misadventures in rural Maine in the 1970s. It is designed above all to be entertaining, but it’s also an example of how the cultural idiosyncrasies of an era can be best brought to life through the power of personal narrative; how larger themes can be explored through small everyday details. “One of the best storytelling performances I’ve ever heard. A real tour de force.” —Syd Lieberman Wattis Building Room 121 Wednesday, February, 27, 1:30 to 2:20 p.m. Dovie Thomason - The Spirit Survives “There are some stories you don’t want to tell. There are some stories you have to tell.” The purpose of this story presentation is to respectfully honor those students and their descendants who lived the experiment of Indian residential schools, to celebrate with those who prospered from it, and to grieve with those whose lives were diminished by it. “With humor and imagination, Thomason helps her audience become ‘comfortable with discomfort.’ in a journey of respect and reconciliation.” — Hoosier Storytelling Festival, Indianapolis Stewart Library Special Collections Evening Events Tickets available from weberstatetickets.com or at the door.
