I mostly agree with you.

As future teachers, we should improve our linguistic skills, mainly the speaking one. If we want to be good storytellers, we need to practise, to create and to imagine good stories. But, the question is…if there are some people who do not like literature…how can we achieve that?
In my opinion, firstly, we have to love literature to transmit to each other this revating art and secondly, we have to love children.

The second point, I hope, it is the easiest for us. But not the first one. How can we love literature? Choosing the books, stories or songs by ourselves. That is the point I disagree with you. If we want to make children love literature we have to adapt the stories to their likes or maybe, let them choosing by their own.

Finally, I also think that we need to employ body language, gestures and sounds to be a good storyteller. We should transmit to the audience the real context and in some cases, as Michael Rosen does, without any word.
