Anchor man: Hello everybody! Today will be the Storytelling students Festival Day. Our students will demonstrate their speaking skills and creativity.
Let me introduce members of our jury. They will decide whose storytelling will be the most creative and artistic.
They are: Paul Reilly, Faith Reilly and Abusagitova Almira, student of the 6 grade.
Storytelling is the process of verbal conveying of events in words, images and sounds, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and in order to value moral qualities. Elements of stories and storytelling include plot, characters and narrative point of view.
During our lessons we practiced a lot in telling stories before a small group of listeners, now we are able to demonstrate our creative, artistic and speaking skills before such a big auditorium. Each student prepared to present a short oral story (5 minutes or less).
Their task was to create, write and verbally tell their own story. Topic was "Survival”.
