Hello again dear readers!
Although it is too late, I
have to tell you the fact that our students of 4th level A and B
enjoyed the storytelling titled “The
Poor Sister” and played by the well-known
storyteller Alan Kennedy last Wednesday, the 4th October. First of all, the students arrived to the assembly
hall while listening to the amazing sound made by the Scottish pipe played by Alan
(he is a good musician, too). When they sat, the story started.
Some days before, we were reading the plot of the story
in the class and talking about different fairy tales the students knew, such us
“The little red riding hood”, “The princess and the pea”, “Rapunzel”, etc. We
talked about the story, the plot, the characters, the sceneries… and this idea prompted
the students to take part in Alan’s story.
In “The poor sister”, a couple had two children, a
horrible, spoiled little boy and a kind daughter. They preferred the boy and gave
the younger girl lots of hard work. They wanted her to suffer. The girl’s pet was
special and saved her from a hard life. They wore wigs and hats, they talked to each other in
English and, the most important aim, they enjoyed their time a lot. When we
went back to the classroom, we talked about the experience and all the students
voted they want to repeat it next year. I am really proud of my students and
the interest they show in the English lessons. Thanks Alan for your help and we
hope you can came back next year. You can look at the photos just clicking the
following one.
Regards, Christopher.
