+</li>
+<li>
+<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Belcher did so much
+more than just tell stories and sing songs in her presentation. She
+showed that oral folklore is a true art form that should be valued and
+treasured here in Appalachia.</font></p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Anndrena Belcher
+demonstrated the beauty of Appalachian folklore and oral tradition in
+an elegant, funny, and entertaining way. She was able to use
+storytelling and song to captivate the audience, and sometimes when she
+was speaking there was a poetic element to her voice.</font></p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">She no doubt has much

+Karen Hartsock immerses kids in hands-on science every year at

She explained +that Anndrena Belcher, through a partnership of the school and the <a +href="http://www.crec76.org">Clinch River Educational Center</a>, had +worked with the students to look at the teaching and traditions +embodied in the life stories of home and family.<br> +<br> +"Everybody has a story, everybody has a voice," Belcher explained.<br> +<br> +Fifty-three of the 77 students chose to share bits and pieces of what +they learned in interviewing their grandparents and other relatives or +as Belcher calls them "elders." Some brought in archival +photographs. Others drew images of family members, home place +structures and local landmark structures associated with "living +memory." <br> +<br> +Some of these stories included the "Old Black Bridge" which used to +cross the Clinch River, the "Old Fincastle Church," which our young +storyteller tells us is "haunted," and the "Railroad Depot," which used +to sit "by the railroad tracks!" says one young man. All were +remembered in different chosen, sharing formats.<br> +<br> +Memories of Fort Blackmore compiled by the students were "It washed +away in the flood," bemoans a young male student, who lives down that +way. "There used to be a barber shop, a bank and other +shops. There was a lot going on there."<br> +<br> +Stories about homemade cakes, brownies, salsa, candy, pear butter, +apple butter, lovely hand appliqued pillowcases, embroidery, a story +sung or read, a living tradition captured in a handclap game, life on +the Clinch River described in a fishing story --- complete with advice +as to how to "cast your line, but don't throw the rod in the water!", +these and original songs along with the harmonica playing debut of +Andrew Anderson, rollicking "backup" rhythm and singing by language +arts and math teachers along with Natalie Adams made for a total +learning celebration.<br> +<br> +Twenty-two students decided to speak in front of the microphone at this +performance.<br> +<br> +"Speaking in front of a mic takes a lot of courage and trust in the +audience and in the spirit of self," Belcher said. "Some parents +and grandparents were in attendence. That is a big deal!"<br> +<br> +According to the Virginia Standards of Learning, oral expression, +language arts, and social studies are integrated as each student looks +at his or her own "personal history."<br> +<br> +"Everybody makes history," Belcher confirmed. "By having students +identify image and emotion around personal story they are learning to +trust "living memory." The elders have always taught by passing +on skills, information, creative thinking and problem solving, through +the natural day to day storytelling process. Every bit of +information is not stored in a micro chip. Human beings possess +many kinds of intelligence. We saw that here at the Dungannon +Intermediate School!"<br> +<br> +Belcher likes to combine what she calls all the ways of learning. +She has served as a touring artist for the Virginia Commission for the +Arts for the past 20 years. The late Studs Terkel, author and +oral historian, noted her importance in helping to preserve traditional +family stories.<br> +<br> +"Anndrena Belcher is one of our secret national treasures," Terkel +said. "We may have lost our tribal memory, at least for the +moment.
