with a sequence
(1) preface sequence;
(2) assisted story preface;
(3) three-part series of turns.

4. Disjunctive marker and/or embedded repetition

5. Conventional story-prefixed phrase as topically coherent next utterance
One day
As a matter of fact

6. Preface Sequence
Preface sequence is a sequence of minimally two turns, where a teller projects a forthcoming story with a story preface and the recipient aligns as a potential recipient.
(1) offer or request to tell; (2) initial characterization of the story; (3) reference to time or source of the story.

7. Assisted Story Preface
Assisted story preface is a way of launching a story collaboratively by using:
(1) story prompt; (2) story provocation; (3) reminiscent solicit + recognition.

12. Telling the story
Single-party telling
Multi-party telling

13. Single-party telling The teller is the only one that has the story
Background
Parenthesis (inserted information)
Climax

15. First saying + insertion + second saying

16. Multi-party telling More than one person has the story.
The story is jointly told.
Five techniques:

17. verify details;

18. monitor for errors;

19. Repair trouble;

20. Render own part;

21. Collaborative telling;
one narrates while the other dramatizes,
both tellers pro- vide own details simultaneously, and
one tells, and the other indicates how recipients might react to the telling

22. Responding to the story
offering continuers
redirecting the story
upon completion of the story;
display understanding of completion
show appreciation of the point of story
demonstrate the story’s potential to generate subsequent talk

23. In the absence of any story response upon its completion, the teller may add various expansions to seek recipient responses (Jefferson, 1978):
