IT'S STORY TIME!

A good and well-presented story is

successful in reaching its objective and
remembered long after over others.
Reaching its listeners, holding the

interest, and crossing all age barriers is
the impact of effective storytelling.
Knowing and applying the art of

storytelling will not only strengthen your
stories but also develop the desired
interest in the audience.

But how to know if the story you have
chosen is a good one? Here are a few

pointers for the right storytelling art. A
good story has a single theme that is well
defined with a good plot. With a dramatic

appeal, it is faithful to the source. It should
bear good characterization and be

appropriate for the listeners.

True Storytelling art aims at keeping the
storyline brief and simple and taking the

story as close as you can to your audience.
It is the contact between the storyteller

and story listeners that make a story
come to life.

One should learn the story as a whole,

always knowing the first and last lines by
heart!

The Storytelling competition was
conducted on Thursday, 14th October

2021 in the school multi-purpose hall
during the regular class hours.
