STORYTELLING PROJECTS
FOR SCHOOLS

What is this?

I am available to organise ad-hoc storytelling projects for schools - both in English and Italian, as a first or second language, both online or face-to-face!

Projects to practise a second language:
Storytelling is a wonderful way to practise a second language in a fun, engaging and effective way. Through the use of flashcards, stories from all over the world (or even anecdotes!), activities created ad-hoc for the stories and crafts, students learn and practise their second language having fun - learning new vocabulary and grammar structures in context, in a natural way.
I am also happy to integrate Storytelling with a CLIL methodology - teaching different subjects through stories.

Projects in the first language:
There is always something to learn when listening to a story and working on it! Be it as complementary sessions to something you’ve been studying in class (like Myths), as sessions on a theme you’d like to focus on (like friendship, kindness, …), or as sessions for Cultural Awareness and Inclusion - I’d love to hear from you to organise a project together!

Some examples of previous works:

  • Storytelling project in Italian (as L1) about the theme of friendship - 6 sessions, 6/7 year olds, each session we worked on a different aspect of the theme through a new story

  • Storytelling project in English (as L2) - ‘Around the world with stories’ - 5 to 8 sessions, primary school students, each lesson we travelled to a different part of the world thanks to a new story, while learning and practising English in a fun and engaging way

  • Storytelling and CLIL in English (as L2) - 6 to 8 sessions, primary school students, themes ranged from Science (The water cycle) to History (River Valley Civilizations) to Writing
