“A good story can imbibe the right
values in the most impressionable age.”
Story telling is one of the most
effective ways to communicate with students. A story stays with the children
much longer than facts or statistics as it is not a seemingly endless download
of information but a never-ending journey of learning and understanding of the
world around us. A wise man once said, “After nourishment, shelter and
companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
To foster the skills of listening and
to incite curiosity and the love for reading in students, a story telling
workshop by Ms Katie Bagli, a renowned and popular story teller was organised
for the students of grades IV- VI, on 28th June, 2019.
Students
were introduced to mysterious and lovable creatures and how to live in harmony
with nature. Excerpts from one of her books were read with creative gestures
and facial expressions which kept the students interested and engrossed in the
story. The unique warmth in the way she
narrated the stories drew the students into her stories leaving them spellbound
and asking for more.
The
session was indeed valuable and distinct, which
was thoroughly enjoyed by the children.
