articulation

why is story-time always the favorite time of day for schoolchildren? it's obviously because there is something behind the telling of a story that intrigues humans' minds to focus, concentrate, listen, and think. aside from nap time and snack time - a wonderful story or book spoken to students by a teacher is probably one of the most precious moments of pre-school/kindergarten.

no one wants to listen to a bad story, though.

instead... try animating it by using hand motions, changing the tone of your voice, and strategically using (or not using) direct eye contact.

i am not a good storyteller, but i would like to be.
