Reflection 1:

Watch the 3 videos on storytelling below and after you have watched the videos write a reflection response (a full complete paragraph or two - of at least 300 words) about your thoughts on the importance of storytelling in your everyday life. Was there something said in these videos that you agreed with and aligned with your views? Or was there something, related to the art of storytelling, that you never thought about until you heard it in the video?

Try to avoid general interest comments but instead, try to speak to something very specific in the article that meant something to you or aligned with your thoughts on the importance of storytelling in your everyday life.
