Today 25 July we had the first event Photo/Storytelling with Darplay. I am very happy about that. My name is Deni.
What is this - Photo/Storytelling? It is an idea of mine, which I have had for the last couple of months. And now it is happening..It's really exciting.
I have been teaching English for the last 7 years and during those years I have come to believe that a language is to be spoken. And a person should be given freedom to speak it, no matter what level he or she is. Once he feels free to talk and make mistakes, in a sressfree environment, he can really make progress and feel confident.
So Photo/Storytelling with Darplay is about that:
Now it is 11 p.m. I came home 2 hours ago and the stories and pictures are still in my mind. We were 6 people. We played 3 rounds in the beginning and everyone had 3 min to speak on his photo. These 3 min are yours and you dont get interrupted - you can say anything you want.(You can either bring a photo of yours or just pick one at the event and think of a story which goes with it.)
After the first round of 9 min, we exchanged our photos and we formed new groups and spoke again 3 min each about the new photo we got. We all felt free to imagine whatever we wanted. It was beautiful to let your imagination go...And nobody to interrupt...
The second part of the event was Photo/StoryWriting and Telling. In groups we had new pictures, words and a piece of paper to write a story. Then we do StoryTelling and QuestionAsking. The time just flies...
These days there wil be a video posted of the event.
Congrats on starting a blog, Deni! Stoyan Georgiev
