STORY-TELLING.
The
other day Raquel shows us a video which surprised me a lot and I want to share
my reflection of this class with you and how you can use it in other ways at
the classroom.
The
video is << Maik and his chocolate cake>>
It consists
in to tell a story and accompany it with gestures in order to make easier for
the listener who is following the story.
When I
saw it the first time I was not able to understand all the vocabulary that
appear during the video, but the gestures and the way of telling the story
helps me a lot to understand it and it seems to me very funny.
I think
it is very difficult to be able to tell a story in this way so funny without
any images or visual supports.
I have
been thinking about how can I use this method at the classroom and maybe it is
useful for you to.
One
activity that we can do with our children in class using this method could be
to divide the class into groups of five.Each group has to choose one of the
members of the group and make a short story among all the members of the group
telling what he or she has been doing during the weekend. After that the group
will have thirty minutes for creating their own story and accompany with
gestures and a little dramatization. Then each group has to show their stories
to the rest of the class and finally among each group have to choose which of
the other groups of the class make it better.
I have
found in internet other examples of storytelling that maybe are interesting for
you.
You have also some web sites in wich you can see other important storyteller and information about them.
And finally a very interesting video which speak about how to be a great storyteller.
Could
you tell me other ways to use this resource at the classroom?
