Storytelling - the gingerbread man

Story: The Gingerbread Man The school where I am working has a focus on Storytelling at the moment. This focuses on oral language and writing where children engage with one chosen story and pick apart in-depthly. The children learn more language features and this helps them to sequence their writing as well as add more detail to their writing. The first story I tried this with was the gingerbread man.  With storytelling you begin with the process of Hear, Map, Step, Speak.  Here are some things I did for this story:  ·         Acted out the story multiple times, sometimes used children to help. ·         Mapped out key parts of the story. ·         Went outside to step out the story. ·         Imitation: Retold the story in writing. ·         Invention: Missing posters for the gingerbread man.
