  1. Hello, I am planning to and as Ana said previously
  2. in the introduction of this video in this section of
  3. the presentation, I will refer to the characteristics that make
  4. a story suitable for teaching english to young learners.
  5. And I will also be mentioning the objectives that can
  6. be attained in a class through storytelling with this story.
  7. Specifically. First, let's remember what Shannon Crandall said about teaching
  8. through politics storytelling.
  9. That it can be an exciting and an entertaining way
  10. to engage students in learning a foreign language in a
  11. meaningful and real context.
  12. So, we thought for this story different special characteristics that
  13. can be mentioned, such as colorful and bright illustrations that
  14. are coherent with the storyline with the plot of the
  15. story. So it is easier for students to follow the
  16. story to infer the plot if they don't get what
  17. they are listening to or at least get a gist
  18. of what is going on in the story.
  19. Another important characteristic that we also mentioned is that Uh
  20. huh that in Home Sweet Home uh there is repetitive
  21. and simple language structures that are used throughout the story.
  22. For example, in the story, when the writer wants to
  23. narrate how the frogs wants from one place to another
  24. place, trying to find a new home, she resource to
  25. the repetition of the hope.
  26. For example, the frog hopped into a flower part of
  27. the frog hopped over the drain pipe, the front hop
  28. through the doorway.
  29. So students get this idea of the frog is doing
  30. the same thing the same thing all the time until
  31. she finds the perfect place to live.
  32. Another important characteristic that is appealing to Children and that
  33. is very useful for storytelling is the use of rhyming.
  34. Uh for example, there is one clear example in the
  35. story when the writer says the back it moved and
  36. then she mentions that a big boys boomed or the
  37. frog hopped under a pile of leaves, but some already
  38. live there too.
  39. So this musicality in the story makes the story more
  40. engaging for students and they also learn how the words
  41. sound in the foreign language.
  42. Three very important characteristics that we also mentioned are the
  43. simple plot, The simple story line together with an engaging
  44. story and happy ending, even though the in the story,
  45. the frog is going from one place to another place,
  46. trying to be trying to find a new home to
  47. lead, being rejected by the other radicals in the story.
  48. In the end, she finds the perfect place to leave.
  49. So it is a happy ending.
  50. And finally, another important characteristic that we found in the
  51. story is that the story provides the opportunity to apply
  52. t PR activities that make the experience of storytelling funnier
  53. and more active.
  54. So in the story the writer has chosen many different
  55. verbs, many different movements.
  56. There's that our president that can be used and um
  57. different type of T.
  58. PR. Activities such as sleep plan, fly dive into jump.
  59. So these birds can be used in activities then in
  60. the lesson plan.
  61. Finally I will be also mentioning the objectives that are
  62. present in the story.
  63. So Here we have mentioned the most important one that
  64. are general objectives.
  65. Said, test uh engaging learners effectively in real language through
  66. the use of stories to expose Children to other cultures
  67. in a fun and exciting way.
  68. Also we think that another reported activity objective story is
  69. to achieve to activities to develop critical thinking skills and
  70. understand how stories are connected to their students live.
  71. That is to say how they can compare themselves what's
  72. happening, what is going on in the story, so they
  73. can't compare themselves with what they have heard in the
  74. story and established in this way, comparisons organizing ideas, draw
  75. inferences and maybe solve different types of problems.
  76. Another important objective, also mentioned here, is that students can
  77. connect to their prior knowledge entertained in this way to
  78. understand and follow the story easily.
  79. So, for example, prior knowledge in the story can be
  80. the animals that are mentioned, what the animals can do
  81. where they live.
  82. So going back to this previous knowledge makes students or
  83. help students to follow the story easily.
  84. Another possible objective to deal in this story is to
  85. deal with sensible topics, such as for example, people that
  86. don't have a home or a place to live, what
  87. is the meaning of home for them, what you want?
  88. Is it a whole?
  89. Important, also empathy and friendship and since they have to
  90. feel what the frog feels when she's rejected in her
  91. way to find her whole as regards specific grammatical and
  92. linguistic objectives to achieve.
  93. Through the story, we can mention thirsty introduction of new
  94. vocabulary such as different ways of moving.
  95. For example, Jam, move, hope, plan, hurdle different sounds like
  96. splash pop with his grandma croaked different sounds that animals
  97. produced and another objective, Another grammatical objective that we thought
  98. it would be possible to attain.
  99. This class is the revision of simple task, especially regular
  100. verbs such as lived, moved, boomed, croaked, propped, watched and
  101. also prepositions in out towards under into over as to
  102. So this is all as regards objectives and the characteristics
  103. of the story.
  104. Thank you very much.
