Literary event – Story telling competition
Dear Parents,
Telling stories have long been recognized as an important part of healing, self-knowledge, and personal and spiritual vehicle for connecting us to other people. We use stories to construct meaning and communicate ourselves to another. Stories help us organize and make sense of the experiences of life. Stories are important. They nourish our imagination, fill our dreams, entertain and inspire us, and so they are critical to our sense of who we are. Therefore, the theme selected for the next literary event is ‘Story telling’, wherein the children are required to narrate any story.
Please note the following points for the event:
- The story should be narrated in English language.
- Time Limit: 3 minutes
- The child can dress up as any character from the story. (OPTIONAL)
- Props may be used to enhance the overall effect. (OPTIONAL)
- From each section 3 winners will be selected.
- Competition will be held on Friday, 23rd December 2016.
- The parameters for the selection and judgement will be as follows:
- a) Choice of the story b) Diction  c) Voice modulation d) memory e) time f) poise (eye contact).
3 best performances will be selected from each section (as we did in the 1st literary event) and there won’t be any further rounds of selection.
NOTE: The parents need to select the story for their ward and prepare them at home accordingly. Props and dress will not fetch any extra marks.
Regards,
Grade 1 team
