I am sure there were a lot of us who already knew that telling stories was a very important issue to deal with children. However, I would say that Michael Rosen made us reflect about the way of telling them. His expressivity engage people a lot in the story and the same happen with all of us.
Definitely, it happened the same to me. I was totally amazed by the way the different scenes were taken place along the story. If adult people can enjoy the story in this way I could not imagine how children would get involved in it and feel as the main character.

Before deciding the topic of my first post, I wanted to talk about Michael Rosen. I considered him as an indispensable topic to comment on. For that reason, I thought about commenting your post. I found on the internet a video, which is a bit long, in which Michael Rosen is in front of a huge amount of children involving them in the story. In this case, he is representing the story called “Bear Hunt” which really I was delighted about. And here it is completely evident how children enjoy it and feel part of the whole story.

This shows that this method of telling things (with exaggerated gestures, mime and voice) help our students (when we are using a non-mother tongue language) to understand our words without understanding everything we say (for only the context andwhat I said above). Also surprised me pleasantly on these activity that, being already fairly “adult”, I was feeingl like the child of the story (which in truth is Michael Rosen) wanting that chocolate cake, going to get it to the kitchen (with nerves if they discovered us going down stairs, eat the chocolate cake, and at the end be discovered!I have a good time but may be because I also love the chocolate cake!
