What is storytelling?

Story telling is communicating events or a story to a person or people.

Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture to either entertain, learn or preserve culture.

Many forms of storytelling include a plot, characters, place or setting and a point of view, usually the narrator.

Where did storytelling come from?

The earliest forms of storytelling were thought to have been oral communication with gestures and expressions.

Over time stories were being told through many different forms of communication, including music and dance.

Stories soon became visual with pictures and mark making appearing on large rock surfaces.

So how many different ways can we story tell?

Oral language

As we learnt earlier, oral language or using our voice is believed to be the main way stories were first told.

Our voice is an important part of how we communicate to others.

Using our voice we can narrate, sing or make sounds that will help describe certain parts of our story.

Written language

Writing is an important part of how we note, remember and share words and stories with one another.

The written language has played an important part in how stories are experienced and shared between countries and cultures.

Written stories can easily be copied and shared with others. Stories are written in different languages with stories shared from people all over the world.

Visual language

Visual language has been around since the invention of writing.

Visual language can describe a story in detail, like the shape and colour of the landscape or the unique features of a character.

Symbols, drawings, paintings and pictures have helped many people imagine the stories they were told.

In many books we can find Visual and Written language.

Body language

Body language is moving our body to perform actions that communicate a message.

Acting has been a way of telling stories for many years. Acting as a character from a story brings the story to life through oral, visual and body language.

We have become so familiar with how our body communicates that it’s almost like reading a book.

What could these six hands be communicating?

Sand animation – drawing and moving sand to create pictures

Shadow Theatre – Only showing the shadow of a cut out character or person with someone as narrator

Others ways of story telling include…

Digital storytelling – using modern technology such as

computers, video, digital photos, music and sound

effects to tell a story.

These types of storytelling also use oral, written, visual and body language. Let’s take a moment to find out how these might use oral, written, visual and body language.

Sand animationShadow theatre Digital storytelling

Oral language: Each story could have a narrator sharing the story to an audience.

Written language: The narrator could be reading the story from a book.

Visual language: Each story is visual in its unique way.

Body language: Shadow theatre uses this language the most. However we can see

that body language in the other two stories help show feelings and emotion.

Let’s recap on what we have learnt so far…As we have seen, stories can be told in many different ways…

Storytelling…

• can be a way to share, learn, entertain and

preserve culture.

• can be shared through oral, written, visual

and body language.

• stories can be told using a combination

of oral, written, visual and body

language.

What have we learnt so far?

In the next lesson we will explore “Role play”.
