Poems for children by Roald Dahl

Poetry and verse can be specially effective for demostrating the stress-timed nature of English and in providing students with authentic practice in its rhythmic features.








DIGITAL STORYTELLING

Digital storytelling involves combining narrative with digital content to create a short movie. Digital stories can include interactive movies with highly produced audio and visual effects or presentation slides with narration or music. Some learning theorists believe that as a pedagogical technique, storytelling can be effectively applied to nearly any subject. Constructing a narrative and communicating it effectively require one to think carefully about the topic and the audience's perspective.
