Let's tell your story!
English skill: speaking.
Audience: foreign language students.
Level: low Intermediate.
Topic: storytelling.
Objective: to encourage students' oral production, using a random story they almost create that allows foreign language students to utilize and recognize the semiotic resources they prefer since the early semesters.
Instructions:
- Hi guys! Today we are going to apply what we were learning in this unity about storytelling. First, please check this website: https://www.plot-generator.org.uk/story/. Where you will be able to create a random short story with the elements that you would like to include.
- Then, let's fill in the blanks with the information you will like to see in your own story: the character's name, the end, the music, the place, etc. Be creative!
- Once you have finished to fill in the blanks. Generate your story with the "Write me a short story" button.
- Read your random story.
- With that story, you will create a short video (maximum 8 minutes long) where you record your voice telling the story with different images, sounds, music, titles, etc. Whatever you want to make your storytelling more dynamic, creative, and engaging.
Note: You could use any video editor you prefer to accomplish the assignment.
Hi Jhan! I really like your proposal for this activity, it is really interesting to use the website you propose to create the story. I think this would work really well in a classroom. Also, creating the video allows students to practice other skills and abilities.Good job! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Jhan, I agree with Daniela. The website to create stories is a good one to design multimodal stories.
