Mark quizzes

I have created a folder in ‘stories’ called ‘oral storytelling’ all of these and more are there for you to peruse also.

Here are some discussion questions:

  • What was difficult about this activity?
  • What were some strategies you used to help you remember better?
  • How many times would you have to hear this story before you could repeat it word for word?
  • If a story was passed down accurately through generations, what steps would have been taken to preserve the accuracy of the story?
  • How was this experience different from reading a story?
  • Why have we lost the skill of memorizing stories word for word in our society/  What might be the benefits of re-developing this skill?
