- to put intonation + rythme in your voice
- to make gesture, mimes + facial expressions
- to speak slowly + repeat
- to have an eye contact with the audience
- to make pauses
- to vary your voice : change voices, 1 character = 1voice (don't change your character's voice during the story !!)
After telling a story
- play games
- sing a song
- act the story
- make a quizz
- make masks
How to make your own story ?
Choose your topic, what children like in stories ?
- animals (fable)
- fairy tails
- funny stories
Choose the type of your story : romantic, humorous, horror, detective ...
Choose the child profile : age, boys, girls ...
When you are making a story, you have to think about :
- how to tell the story : video, photos, drawings... ?
- what is the language input and output (vocabulary, grammar...)?
- what is the following activity ?
Then, when you are making your story, you have to
- introduce the main character (who is nice, kind...)
- present the conflict
- detail the climax of the story (= the most interesting and memorable scene)
- resolute the conflict (= how the character resolves the problem)
- what happened in the end ?
- PAY ATTENTION to never change the characters' clothes : the children have to be able to recognize them !!
- PAY ATTENTION to use simple language : transparent words, simple tenses, short sentences...
- a beginning a middle and a end
- a conflict : external or internal or environmental
- the resolution of the conflict
- an happy ending !
