Heya out there !
I just wanted to say thanks for the story telling video!!! I really enjoyed it ! Currently at my school, reading and in particular shared reading is our primary focus this year. We are doing so much in this area and seeing the clip was refreshing and got me thinking how I can tie it into my literacy block. I have a year one class and I think they would really get a kick out of story telling !! Not to mention that it will link nicely with the talking and listening strand ! I think what I will do is introduce the task into our next menu board session. I will photocopy a variety of short stories (seen texts that the children would have had experience with like past readers/TABARI books) and like the clip suggested they can choose a story and complete a picture story map for it. Then the following week in menubaord they can use their story map to share/tell their stories with others in their group. When they have had the experience telling their stories in thier small groups we might have a story telling day during book week ! Yeah ! I might be on to something here !!!!
hehe
Thanks for the video !!!
