We can use dice or spinners for the 'roll' part. For example, if we roll a number, it can correspond to a certain type of articulation story. Then students tell the story, which helps improve their pronunciation and language fluency.
Well, first we need to prepare a variety of articulation stories. Then, we can use a simple random - generating method for the 'roll' part, like rolling a pair of dice. When students roll, they get a result that indicates which story they should tell. By doing this, students are forced to practice their oral skills, especially in enunciating words clearly. They also get to be creative in how they tell the story, which adds to the fun and effectiveness of the exercise. This method can be adjusted depending on the age and proficiency level of the students. For younger students, the stories can be simpler with more repetition of key sounds, while for more advanced students, complex stories with a wider range of vocabulary can be used.
It enhances creativity. You need to create a story based on the rules of 'roll and tell', so it encourages you to think creatively and use your imagination. Also, it's a great way to boost confidence in speaking, as you get to practice speaking in a fun and engaging way.
Well, we can also use them for oral practice. For example, ask students to retell the stories in their own words. This can enhance their speaking skills. And it can also stimulate their creativity as they may add their own ideas while retelling.
In English teaching, 'telling time stories' can be a great activity. Teachers can choose some classic stories that are related to time, such as 'Cinderella' which has elements like 'at midnight'. After reading the story, students can discuss how time is important in the plot. Then, they can be asked to rewrite the story changing the time elements. This makes them think about how time affects the sequence of events and also enhances their language skills as they have to use appropriate time - related words and phrases.
In teaching, 'fold and tell stories' can be a great activity. First, introduce the concept of folding, like making simple origami figures. Then, ask students to come up with a story related to what they've folded. It encourages them to think outside the box. They might fold a flower and tell a story about a flower that could talk and had adventures in a garden. It also makes the learning process more fun and engaging.
Another approach is to ask students to rewrite the 'teach story' in their own words. This requires them to have a good understanding of the grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure in the original story. It also encourages creativity in using language.
One way is to first introduce the new vocabulary in the 'umbrella stories'. Then, ask students to read aloud slowly, focusing on correct intonation. After that, they can read at a normal speed. It also encourages students to listen to each other and learn from their peers' reading.
We can use 'reading street basal stories' in English teaching by having students read them aloud. This helps with pronunciation.
We can use them as reading materials. Let students read and then retell the stories, which can improve their reading and speaking skills.
One way is to use them for reading comprehension practice. Have students read the stories independently and then answer simple questions about the plot, characters, and main ideas.
We can use Christmas stories for vocabulary building. Teach new words that are related to Christmas such as 'reindeer', 'ornament', 'nativity' etc. that are often found in Christmas stories.
