Story Time
Will you allow your imagination to run away with you?
Description
From a weird reverie of dark revelation,
Mr Grubb woke up with a strange sensation.
Slipping out through the crack at the back of the lair,
Trudging out through the muck and the thick misted air,
Where the collywobbles cawed their sinister call
And the dingle-baggles scurried on jittery claws.
His ghostly breath mixing in with the fog;
He plonked himself down on a damp, mossy log.
But then in the sludge,
Just a few feet away,
Mr Grubb saw a plant that was quite out of place;
A single buttercup in a pile of faeces.
Mr Grubb tore it up into a thousand pieces.
Story Time is an imaginative way to dissect and find meaning in abstract forms, be it through a poem (as above), or from everyday stories one might tell in social situations.
There are 2 aims in this lesson.
Firstly, to gain confidence in your abiity to dissect meaning and approach intellectual questions on one or more short stories and/or poems, that are both appropriately challenging in context and volcabulary.
The second aim, is for the student to gain confidence in telling stories/anecdotes themselves. This can be a challenge for most people speaking a second laguage, but here I have provided a safe space to practise.
Upper Intermediate & ages 14 and above.
I look forward to meeting you!
