Telling a story

1. Start with an orientation exspression.Ex : once upon at time… a long time

ago in a far away land,….. Back in the days of the wild west…….
2. Use the past tense to tell the folktale. ex : she pulled the peach to the
shore
3. Include descriptive details that help the listener “see” the important events
in the story. Include details that relate to the five senses : sight, sound,
touch, taste, and smell. Ex: all things went wrong on their little farm Their
little patch of corn dried up, so they had no corn with which to make
tortillas. Their stomachs ached with hunger.
 4. Use reported speech. Sometimes when you tell a story, you quote or
“act out” the characters’ speech. however., when you have less time
and are summarizing a story, you need to report what the characters
said.
Ex: Quoted speech : the boy said, “ I’ll trade my table for the cow”
Reported speech : the boy said that he would trade his table for
the cow.

Giving constructive criticism

Students are often asked to give feedback or comments on the

written or oral work of classmates. When you evaluate a
classmate’s work, it’s important to use neutral language and to
make positive suggestions for improvement.
Constructive criticism is feedback with helpful suggestions that
will help your classmate improve his or her presentation. When
you do this, you are avoiding hurt feelings and are giving real
help.
Ex : Dan, I think you could look at the audience more. Why don’t
you try this technique : look at your notes for one or two points
and then look up at the audience as you say them.
