In addition, Dr. MacDonald teaches storytelling to classroom teachers for the Lesley University Creative Education through the Arts program. For years, she also taught storytelling as an Adjunct Professor with the University of Washington Information School. Dr. MacDonald is the author of over 60 books on folklore and storytelling topics, including many award winning folktale picture books.

Teaching with Story contains 20 of these useful stories that can be used by teachers with their students.

From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-8-- Viewing skits as an aspect of folklore, this is more a general resource than an actual book of scripts such as those found in Fontaine's Humorous Skits for Young People (1976; o.p.) and Olfson's Skits and Short Farces for Young Actors (1985, both Plays). A list of characters, an outline of the action, and suggested dialogue or improvisations for each is given rather than the formal scripts, stage directions, and production notes found in the others. Props and scenery are kept to a minimum, and in keeping with the oral tradition, flexibility in length and numbers of actors, as well as variations on the action are indicated. The material, submitted by camps, schools, and youth groups, should appeal to a juvenile sense of humor. Many, not only in the chapter "Grossies," are truly gross. Full acknowledgement is given to all groups and individuals that provided information, and a request for future contributions is included. Pen-and-ink drawings are a delightful accompaniment to the text. --Meryl Silverstein, formerly at Meyer Levin Junior High School, Brooklyn
