"We´re going on a bear hunt" - Storytelling.

An activity that we have to do for practising storytelling, was to choose a book and tell the story to our schoolar friends.

For that, I have choosen a book that can be read, told or also sung: "We´re going on a bear hunt", by Michael Rosen.

I decided to tell this book for those reasons. Children enjoy it, because it has lots of movements. It´s really easy to memorise for the teacher because it has a repeated structure. This story has a repeated and short structure in which only change two or three words, the ones that are "new" vocabulary.  All the illustrations are good descriptors for ongoing the story and understand the vocabulary. 

I will add here a link of a video from the writer of the story, telling it.

Mr. Page´s Pet Shop.

In our handout, we have a little story about animals and the different sounds they make. For this story, we have also to prepare an activity, refered to animal sound. The ones that I have prepare were two:

By Jane Cabrera

1. Reading "Old Madonald had a farm." by Jane Cabrera. As we know, this is a song as well, so we can hear first the song, what is easier for infants, and then read or tell the story.
2. When we have a class with a low English level, we can only sing that song that I´ve found in the webpage "youtube.com".

Old Macdonald had a farm.

Design a listening activity: before - while - after.

BEFORE-ACTIVITY:

Play twister game. We can work body and colours. Later, the teacher can add more difficulty to the game in order to use more than one part of the body. Also, if they work in groups and together, they have to put as many parts of their bodies as theacher orders in one unique colour.

It´s not the original one, that goes with the activities.

WHILE-ACTIVITY:

We plan this activity, talking from the point of wiev of the waitress. All the costumers are going to be describe.

• Exercise: Complete the sentences circling the correct answer.

• "Burmecians, have big heads and are very smart because, they are always listening".
• "I have heard, that Bangass, always know what happen around them, that maybe, because in their heads they only a big, big eye!"

 AFTER-ACTIVITY

Complete the table.
