Note: The teacher uses these guide questions as a transition from the start-up
activity to the proper discussion of the lesson.

Discussion connects here:

Teacher: From this activity, what you did is listening. You put it in an
illustration to figure out your perspective on the story. By that, you are
enhancing your listening skills and imagining the things as I am telling scenes
per story. And those things that you have drawn are what we called the
ELEMENTS OF STORY. Now, we should know first what is storytelling and
what are the elements of a story.
Stimulating Question:

Teacher: Before I introduce with the elements, what do you mean by the word
story and story-telling?

ELEMENTS OF T HE STORY

***STORYTELLING AND ELEMENTS OF STORY***

STORYTELLING

Storytelling is the interactive art of using words and actions to reveal the elements
and images of a story while encouraging the listener’s imagination.

Storytelling Is Interactive.

 Storytelling involves a two-way interaction between a storyteller and one or

more listeners. The responses of the listeners influence the telling of the
story. In fact, storytelling emerges from the interaction and cooperative,
coordinated efforts of teller and audience.

Storytelling Uses Words.

 Storytelling uses language, whether it be a spoken language or a manual

language such as American Sign Language. The use of language
distinguishes storytelling from most forms of dance and mime.

Storytelling Uses Actions Such As Vocalization, Physical Movement

And/Or Gesture.

 These actions are the parts of spoken or manual language other than
words. Their use distinguishes storytelling from writing and text-based
computer interactions. Not all nonverbal language behaviors need to be
present in storytelling. Some storytellers use body movement
extensively, for example, whereas others use little or none.

Storytelling Presents A Story.

 Storytelling always involves the presentation of a story—a narrative.
Many other art forms also present story, but storytelling presents it with
the other four components. Every culture has its own definition of story.
What is recognized as a story in one situation may not be accepted as
one in another. Some situations call for spontaneity and playful
digression, for example; others call for near-exact repetition of a
revered text.

Storytelling Encourages The Active Imagination Of The Listeners.

 In storytelling, the listener imagines the story. In most traditional theatre
 or in a typical dramatic film, on the other hand, the listener enjoys the
illusion that the listener is actually witnessing the character or events
described in the story.

Other definition:

 It means, that is an activity, which involves the exchange of tales,

experiences, and just information, from a person who is telling story i.e.
A Storyteller to its Audience i.e. people who are receiving this
information.

 Storytelling is an ancient art. Being able to tell a story that audiences

will enjoy, remember, and engage with, is both compelling and difficult
to accomplish.

Before we go with the elements of the storytelling, let us first discuss the
elements of a story. This is to familiarize the concepts within the story as you
listen in a storytelling.

IMPORTANCE OF STORYTELLING

What can storytelling offer?

 Children have an innate love of stories. Stories create magic and a sense
of wonder at the world. Stories teach us about life, about ourselves and
about others. Storytelling is a unique way for students to develop an
understanding, respect and appreciation for other cultures, and can
promote a positive attitude to people from different lands, races and
religions.

 Through stories, we share passions, fears, sadness, hardships, and joys,

and we find common ground with other people so that we can connect
and communicate with them.

Stories are universal, conveying meaning and purpose that help us understand
ourselves better and find commonality with others.

FIVE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A STORY

A story has five basic but important elements. These five components are: the
characters, the setting, the plot, the conflict, and the resolution. These The
essential elements keep the story running smoothly and allow the action to
develop in a logical way that the reader can follow.

CHARACTERS

The characters are the individuals that the story is

about. The author should introduce the characters in
the story with enough information that the reader can
visualize each person. This is achieved by providing
detailed descriptions of a character’s physical
attributes and personality traits. Every story should
have a main character. The main character determines the way the plot will
develop and is usually who will solve the problem the story centers upon.
However, the other characters are also very important because they supply
additional details, explanations, or actions. All characters should stay true to the
author’s descriptions throughout the story so that the reader can understand and
believe the action that is taking place—and perhaps even predict which
character may do what next.

SETTING

The setting is the location of the action. An author

should describe the environment or surroundings of the
 story in such detail that the reader feels that he or she can picture the scene.
Unusual settings (such as a fantasy world) can be interesting, but everyday
settings can help a reader to better visualize the story and feel connected to the
plot!

PLOT

The plot is the actual story around which the

entire book is based. A plot should have a
very clear beginning, middle, and end—with
all the necessary descriptions and suspense,
called exposition—so that the reader can
make sense of the action and follow along
from start to finish.

CONFLICT

Every story has a conflict to solve. The plot is

centered on this conflict and the ways in which the
characters attempt to resolve the problem. When the
story’s action becomes most exciting, right before the
resolution, it is called the climax.

RESOLUTION

The solution to the problem is the way the action is resolved.

For example, Katie often resolves a conflict by finding a
compromise for two fighting characters or helping fi x any
mistakes she made while switcherooed into someone else. It is
important that the resolution fit the rest of the story in tone
and creativity and solve all parts of the conflict.

THEME

The theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey

— in other words, the central idea of the story.

Abstraction Wrap-up (Big-Group Activity) – 5 minutes

Wrapping up will be done by throwing the following questions to the class:

a. Can you define what a storytelling is?

b. What is the difference between story and storytelling?
c. Can you identify you now the elements of the story and define each?
d. Now that you already determined a story and define each elements, why
do you think storytelling is important?
