TASK 3

EVALUATED TASK 3 STORYTELLING

A brief introduction to this task: in this task we had to find a story that lasted at least 5 minutes to tell the infant or primary pupils according to the grade that we are studying, in my case infant pupils. To tell the story, I used drawings that I made and painted by myself. Finally record the video telling the story and create two activities related to the story which focus on language skills, in my case, to reinforce the vocabulary and comprehension of the story.

On the one hand, the strengths of this task are the following: the content of the story as I gave clear and interesting details to support the story, I also adapted the story completely for infant pupils and used drawings made and painted by myself. The chronological order of the story was clear and easy to follow, and I used signal words/transition

correctly. I used a lot of eye contact when recording the story and a great deal of volume, intonation and voice variety. The video lasted at least 5 minutes and I didn’t use notes to count it in front of the camera. Finally, the activities I created were well developed and reinforce the vocabulary and comprehension of the story.

On the other hand, the weaknesses of this task are these: there could have been more interaction from me with the audience and I could have asked more questions. There were some pronunciation errors, in addition I think it is very important to check the pronunciation of any word I say, as I will be a model for the students and they will copy/imitate the way I pronounce the words and mispronunciations can interfere with understanding the story. Finally, I could have smiled a little more.

In conclusion, if I could repeat the task’s contribution, I would improve all the weaknesses so that the task will be perfect.
