Class Work

 

Leftovers!

What is story telling? Some experts share their views: http://www.aaronshep.com/storytelling/quotes.html (Take a slip - read the quotation - tell if you agree with the "expert" and explain your response. This is an oral activity!)

 

 How does one tell a good story?

New Stuff

 

Time to share a story at your table. You may have a note or two, but you may not read from a book. That is an activity for another day. Be brave. HAVE FUN!

 

Now, elect one story teller from your table to share with the class.

For homework, you were asked to read the introduction in Best-Loved Folktales and make a bulleted list of 15 important points. Please take the list, talk to the person across the table, and share lists. Did you agree on the most important points?

 

 

 

 

**********************************************************

 

Now, on with the show!

 

1. Warm-ups: Facial expressions, motions, voice, eye contact.

2. You will join a group of 5.

3. Write your name on the rubric. Hand the rubric to another in the group to evaluate you as a story teller.

• 5=Fantastic!
• 1 = Keep trying.

4. Tell your story to the group. The group will evaluate your presentation. (Do not fear, you have a voice in the evaluation!)

 

5. Each group needs to select one story teller to present to the class. Do not worry if you are not selected; you will have a chance in the future, I promise!
