5. What is storytelling?
Story telling is telling a story to a person or group of people.
Storytelling can include characters, a setting and a point of view, usually the narrator.
Stories have been shared in every culture to entertain, learn or preserve culture.

The oldest form of storytelling is believed to be oral language or using your voice.
Stories soon became pictures and drawings often appearing on large rock surfaces.

7. So how many different ways can we story tell?

8. Oral language
Oral language or using our voice is believed to be the main way stories were first shared.
Using our voice we can narrate, sing or make sounds to describe parts of our story.
Our voice is an important part of how we share stories with one another.

9. Written language
Writing is an important part of how we learn, imagine and share new stories with one another.
Written stories can be copied and shared with others from different countries or cultures.
The written language continues to inspire readers all around the world.

10. Visual language
Visual language or pictures have been around since writing.
Symbols, drawings, paintings have helped people imagine the stories they were told.
Visual language can describe a story in detail, like the colour of the landscape.

In many books we can find
Visual and Written language.

11. Body language
Body language is moving our body in a way that helps share a story.
Acting has helped tell stories for many years. Acting as a character from a story brings the story to life.
We use our body everyday to help tell stories and communicate. It’s almost like reading a book.

Shadow Theatre – Only showing the shadow of a cut out character or person with someone as narrator
These type of stories can use a combination of oral, written, visual and body language. Let’s take a look.
Other ways of story telling include…
Sand animation – drawing and moving sand to create pictures
Other ways of storytelling…
Digital storytelling – modern technology like computers, video or sound effects can enhance our experience
of a story.

13. Visual language: Each story is visual in its unique way.

Oral language: Each story could have a narrator sharing the story to an audience.

Written language: The narrator could be reading the words of the story from a book.
Visual language: Each story is visual in its unique way.
Body language: Shadow theatre uses this language the most. However we can see that body language in the other two stories help show feelings and emotion.
