Last week, my school tutor suggested me to do some storytelling with year 4 students. She provided me with a very nice book called "What's that noise" that explains the story of a nine years old girl who goes to live to an old house. Three mice live in this old house so, who will stay finally in the house?
Because we had enough books for all the kids, all of them have started reading the story in silence during 5 minutes. Then, I have read the text loudly in order to make them listen to the pronunciation. I have read the text in English but I have translated the most difficult words to Catalan to help students to understand it. I have also done mime because I think it's a good resource to develop their oral comprehension. I consider also important to change the voice and to use different tones of voice to catch children's attention and to make the story more realistic.
After reading the story, we have done some activities I had previously photocopied from the book. The activities were related to the story and they contained lots of contents: the time, prepositions of place, family vocabulary, etc. We have done the activity with the whole group class and all the kids have participated and have written the answers on the blackboard. We haven't had time to finish all the activities but we have had a very great time. Tomorrow I'm teaching the same lesson to the other year 4 class so I hope to do it well!
