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?
