Photos from a three-day PearsonLongman workshop at St. Paul’s School (Lam Tin), Hong Kong, Feb. 2008
The workshop began with a teachers’ session

lively discussions

learning to tell it strongly

Then the work with the students began – with a story, of course

Different activities: partner work

Re-telling a story in a small group

Group work – with assistance

A writing activity
This followed on from hearing the powerful Welsh tale of Beth Gellert – a story of misplaced anger, death and life-long regret

Work in progress …

… telling the tale in four scenes ..


A reading activity

Storytelling offers lots of spin-off activities in the classroom – here some more writing

An amazingly polished, assured performance from Edith – for me, a genuine highlight
