Snore – this is so easy! Urban legends are explained in chapter 4 …


Don’t tell anyone I told you!


Telling a story


DJs often tell stories to interact with their audience and start a dialogue with their listening audience. You have already looked at what presentation skills a storyteller would need; now remind yourself of the features of a good story.


Pre-speaking: In small groups turn to page 187 and discuss the key features of a story, by studying the labels on the illustration of a radio.


Tell a spicy story


You all have a story to tell. Choose a story about a local legend or an urban legend that is set in South Africa to tell to the class. Use the CD cover below to help you plan your story.


HINT:


Remember, in storytelling you start with the introduction, which contains important details, develop the story- line in the body paragraphs and build up to a logical conclusion at the end.


During planning: Think carefully about where the story will go. Remember, you are going to be telling this story to the class. How will you capture their attention? How will you ensure that they keep listening?
