Story Telling Skills Part 2

Today in lesson we worked on our pronunciation and how we would address a group of little boys and girl. For the first part of the lesson we practiced saying the vows (a, e, i, o and u) phonetically in groups and by ourselves so we could stretch our mouth, vocal cords and our diction. His then changed into saying the tongue twister “Sally saw Sylvester stacking silver saucers side by side” which we first practiced saying and then attempted it in cannon so we had to focus on our speech. We then went into 3 small groups of 3 where once again said the tongue twister but with an emotion we had to show while speaking. The tongue twister than changed to “red lorry, yellow lorry” which was a harder tongue twister which we had to do in cannon as well as well as with an emotion in our groups of 3.

After this we split into a group of 4 and a group of 5 and had to tell the first part of the story to “Little Red Riding Hood”. My group started ours with a book centre stage which the 5 of us would crowd round, one of us then blow of the dust of the book and opened it. We each read a part of the story until we reached the part where “Little Red left her house. We than did our performance again but added key story telling techniques to the performances like for our opening we talked to the audiences and got them excited for the story. For the last part of the lesson we worked as a group  on telling stories, we all walked around the room  and one by one went to the front and told a line of the story. We were first given the story of the three little pigs to tell but then tried to make up our own story to by using the skills we learnt in this lesson and last lesson.
