1. WHY A STORY?
Today we must give greater weight to the need that, from childhood, the
children begin to listening stories and know how to interpret it, because they
have great benefits for further development.
It helps to provide a good language development and the child acquires
language proficiency through listening.
The stories are a valuable tool in the process of learning of a language and
culture.
They also have many sound resources and allow us to introduce us grammar,
vocabulary and memory exercise.
The problems that we face are the absence of reading and writing habits,
shyness to speak and participate, difficulty to pronouncing words and short
sentences when reading, difficulty with writing words and sentences,
reverse words when writing, low use of the dictionary, create text difficulty,
difficulty with reading and understanding texts.
With this blog and through stories, we will:
• To raise the interest of students for children's literature.
• Lose the fear of public speaking.
• Acquire basic skills in reading stories: intonation, rhythm ...
• Encourage creativity and imagination.
• Acquire skills of interpretation and dramatization.
ADVICE FOR INTRODUCING THE STORY.
Whenever we engage in an activity, we must consider some criteria. To
perform a good story, we need a good method. We must:
Do not use the new language to teach concepts that children are not
aware.
Try to speak as much English as possible, so that children can hear the
rhythm and understanding to go slowly.
2. Design activities for everyone to succeed.
Use lots of repetition, children need to do things again and again, that
makes them feel comfortable and helps them learn.
Classes should be fun, just so they will learn. It presents short and
varied activities to keep your interest and to change the pace of the
class. Driven activities can be used if they are losing interest and calm if
they need to calm down, especially at the end of the class.
Just use the native language when needed to explain a game or for the
discipline.
You must use songs and the vocabulary, the rhythm of language and
grammar are learned easily through songs. Also, singing is fun.
Use games to motivate them to learn and to make it fun.
Use stories, children love them and if a story is repeated many
times, children get used to the vocabulary and grammar and rhythm
of language. After a while, they themselves can tell.
Use many visual aids so that children can understand the meaning before
knowing the word.
THE TEACHER ... THAT GREAT ARTIST.
To tell a story, we need a specific communication method.
The art of telling a story involves sharing a story with one or more people
always in a live experience.
To tell a story well, you need to like the story or, at the very least, you must
understand the story you are telling and how it fits into your program or
presentation. If any portion of the combination is not fully a part of the
experience, then the storytelling will suffer. You must find a story that most
appeals to you for any topic or situation, some professional storytellers
often say that the “story chooses me.”
3. For oral storytelling, your voice is a tool just as a chisel is a tool of the
sculptor. Your story requires good use of your voice to express emotions
and energy. An important storytelling technique is to learn to develop that
“third ear” to listen to yourself as you tell the story. The tone, inflection,
emotion and pacing must match the events in your story.
In even the most subtle on-stage or corporate-boardroom storytelling,
voice techniques are important. The same rules apply to manual
communication as they do to the spoken word.
A storyteller’s body also helps to tell the story. Choosing to use big
gestures, subtle gestures or remain perfectly still helps your audiences to
understand how you feel about the story you are telling. Try to vary the
types of gestures you use. In either case, the change-up in gestures will
catch the attention of your listeners in a fresh new way.
