Planning your griot tale
|
1. Choose a story or proverb.
|
Look here
for ideas. Mrs. Hinkle also has a collection.
|
2. Plan your script.
|
The narrator(s) can read.
(Of course, the real griot had it memorized.) If you choose a
proverb, create a story which illustrates the proverb as its moral.
|
3. Plan the sound effects.
|
Use only your body for sound
effects (mouth, hands, voice). The story must be completely
portable.
|
4. Who will narrate? Who
will direct the audience?
|
The director will teach the
audience and give them cues.
|
5. Rehearse your presentation.
|
Enjoy!
|
| 6. Scoring rubric | - Story elements include setting, character, & plot
- Delivery is interactive with the audience
- Presentation shows evidence of adequate preparation
