Workshop on “Story Telling”
An hour long workshop on “ Story Telling” was organized for students of class IV and V on May 4, 2012. To make them more creative in the dramatic narration of the story, the resource person used every tool she had got with her- the tool of her voice, her body language and the creative mind. She was able to enter the world of that particular age group she was telling to and put those priorities, feelings and concerns into the story telling. To empower the participants and to add spice to this process students were encouraged to make suggestions about what happens next and then incorporating those suggestions in the story. Discussion after story telling allowed students to express their understanding of the metaphors, symbols used in the story. Our young listeners of class IV & V participated with dynamic attention and gave constructive feedback in the end. On the whole it was a wonderful beginning of the new session which is going to be full of creative assignments, interactions, projects and activities.
