Aliona delighted her classmates and teacher with this storytelling activity in an English lesson.  She had prepared this popular nursery rhyme at home with her mum, and she had even drawn the different stages of the story.  Once at school, she asked me for permission to carry out the activity and ... I couldn't say no! 

Shark in the Park

One of our 6th grade students offered her classmates a great storytelling time.  I have to say storytelling is not an easy activity to carry out.  To act out the story at the same time it is read or explained, so that the listeners enjoy and understand what it is all about, is a difficult task.  

I invite you to watch the video clicking on the picture that goes along with this text and enjoy as much as we did in the classroom with this hilarious and funny story called "Shark in the park" by Nick Sharratt.
