QUESTION 1
In your own words, explain why story telling – whether in oral or written form – is
important to human beings.
Stories let us share information in a way that creates an emotional
connection. They help us to understand that information and each other, and
it makes the information memorable. Because stories create an emotional
connection, we can gain a deeper understanding of other people's
experiences.
Storytelling brings language learning alive and creates a participatory and
immersive experience that allows Young Learners to enjoy hearing the
language in a dynamic, sometimes stylistic and entertaining way.
Participation using key vocabulary and phrases can create an awareness of
rhythm and structure.
Storytelling has been proven to help develop a sense of empathy as children
are encouraged to put themselves in the position of the story's protagonist; to
consider their actions and reactions and why they may have made them.
QUESTION 2
In your own words, explain the difference between realism and non-fiction.
