WALT: retell stories

A successful storyteller:

• uses eye contact with thier audience
• involves thier audience
• uses bodylanguage and body space to create atmosphere
• paints pictures in our imaginations, but still allows us to add our own thoughts and images
• varies their voice to express different emotions or characters
• varies the tempo and energy level throughout the story to keep the listeners interested

Today we started our learning by sharing a version of Maui and the Sun, then we looked a two video clips. We are going to story-board and retell, dramatise and do some visual art based around this story.
