But I wanted to do something with the kiddo, so I came up with this alternative. It became an entire day activity and kept us both entertained. I had talked to the kid earlier in the week about what all of his storybooks had in common. Once we were done painting the sticks, I had the kiddo gather some of his favorite books.

Advertising has become about telling stories as well—letting a company, CEO, or even customers explain who they are, where they come from, and what they value is the social media way. Even our social media profiles are forms of storytelling. But in this social media era of powerful tools and always-on visibility, how can we coach students to tell their own story, but with care, craft, and tact, and in a way that communicates the right message with the right audience?
