Storytelling with short Animations~snowman


In one of my posts this week, I mentioned another way for a winter (snowman) topic.  

Read all through the end, because the big tips come further down!

Stories!
​

I've mentioned various ways of storytelling so far in past posts.  Kids love stories, and I do not get fixed on ONE method.  And there are many:

Reading a book.
Retelling a book.
Creating a story together from pictures, from videos,...
using Story Cubes
using songs.
And and and.

The one method I use most frequently now, and kids just get so creative about is movietalk.

I learned about Movie talk several years ago, in a CI Conference.
The way La Maestra Loca introduced it, (check directly HERE)
fit excellently with my classes, so I started of doing it her way.

After a while little by little my own style and ideas came alive more and more, and ...that is what I will be presenting about this year myself at just that CI Conference.  So, if you want to learn more about the details of Movie talk, or learn and practice one of the hundreds way of storytelling, check that link and see if you can still get a slot to participate.  Regular registration was planned to be till midst of January, but because everything is different this year, you might have a chance.  No idea, but asking is free.

Anyway.  Let me share a few mini movies, I use around this time of year.

As with most of the videos, I learned, and love it the way, that you stop the video all few seconds and talk about the details in each little passage.
Who is there?
Where is she?
HOw old is she?
What is the weather like?
What is she doing? ...

Also lots of time for prediction:
Why is she doing this?
What is he going to do next?
Why ....


This movie is VERY moving!


Under the winter sun


This is another moving animation, with lots of vocab.  The great thing is that you can choose one of these videos for this year's season and then go with this one video for all levels.

For simpler questions here you could have them describe how Snowman A (We call him Frosty) makes Snowman B (WE call him Icy)

Or, what their favorite winter sports are.

For older kids you can get into feelings, and WHY Frosty feels sad, happy, etc.

If you are interested in this story's pdf, leave me a message and I will send it to you.


​The snowman


And another cute one, which goes well with Moral Education Class as well:
​

And finally, in case you like to work with lyrics and songs and love SIA:



It is really cold again today. 
Have yourself a heartwarming drink, a cuddly blanket and a good story, and ENJOY THE WEEKEND.

    Born and grown up in Germany I came to Japan with 22 to make my mom's wish come true:
    BE HAPPY!
    Now I'm a mother and I wish from my heart that my kids
    BE HAPPY!
    And I'm an educator and I do all I can to fulfill this big dream of most parents for their kids:
    BE HAPPY!
