## Masterpiece: Telling a story

Originally, Irish folklore were stories that were told around campfires, before bed and in pubs while enjoying mead. In groups of 3-4 we will now create and tell our own Irish folklore story with fantastical characters OR we are going to retell an existing Irish folklore story.

Requirements:

- Everyone should speak at least 2 minutes
- Your story must contain at least one mythological creature. Use Irish ones, you can find a list of them online. Some examples: Pooka, the Banshee, giants.
- It must be a complete story.

If you choose to retell a story, it must be told in your own words.

- look up 2 variations of the same story and compare them. What is different and what is the same?

We will listen to everyone’s stories in class. Practice reading/telling them in an enticing way, so that it is entertaining to listen to! Try to channel your inner bard to woe the audience.

During class you will give (or receive) feedback by your classmates on the following subjects:

- Narration skills (hoe je het verhaal vertelt)
- Vocabulary
- Grammar
- Creativity
- Completeness of the task.
