ZEBONG Workshop

ZEBONG Workshop 

The purpose of this was because we were learning about myths and different people believe in different myths/ stories.

On 3rd of April, ZEBONG, the storyteller came to school to talk to us about myths & legends, what you need when you are storytelling, and telling us stories about his elderly. If you saw the other post about ZEBONG coming, then I'm sure you already know about some of the things we did at ZEBONG. After lunch that day, we had a workshop with ZEBONG , so that we could hear other stories that were not from his family. And that's when, ZEBONG told us about what we need in when we are storytelling so that if you want to be one when you grow up, then you know what to include in. Such as, making someone feel something when you are storytelling, for example, they feel frightened when we heard about the ghost story, but at the end, everyone was the very relief because it was just a monkey about to eat bananas which were very funny. We learnt that you need types of voices to make people feel something, which I was about to say you have to make someone feel something when you are storytelling because otherwise it might make the myth/legends boring and no-one would enjoy it, you would also need twists to make it more exciting like for example, the room was pitch black and only heard the voice " Gotcha, gotcha, skin ya, now I'm gonna eat yay". You also need to put acting in it, to make it look more interesting and makes everyone want to hear more about it with actions. When  our workshop was done, we said thank you, and hoped for ZEBONG to come back again, and  thanked him for coming to our school and teaching us lots about myths & legends, and also spending his time with us, and what we need in storytelling, and our class will never forget about the stories that ZEBONG told us.

Thanks for reading!!
