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?
Hello Maria!
ResponderEliminarI think your idea based on that perfect video about chocolate cake from Maik is great, because the same as you, there were some words I haven´t heard before, but with the help of gestures and mimics I understood it perfectly! The same I think about with kids, it can be a perfect way how to learn vocabulary, also it will something new for them, and everytime it can be different. They can compete between groups trying to guess what one group showed, or trying to retell it with the fact they need to remember words they dont know but they are suppose to use.
I also watched the video about mystery of storyteller, what was also helpful for me. I believe there is a way for everybody how to be a good storyteller:) and I am going to take a lesson from this article to improve myself :) thank u! ;)
Thank you very much for your comment!I am glad that my post can be a resource for you and the information too.If you want there are a lot of videos and webs in Internet which will improve your knowledge of this topic and also a lot of good ideas of how to use this resource in class.
