Inter School Story Telling Competition ‘Once Upon A Time’
Story Telling is an art of narrating or unfolding the narratives of a story. Story Telling has a been a part of our culture and tradition from decades or we can say from many civilisations. To acknowledge and showcase our love for stories Vidyatree Modern World College organized an Inter School Story telling competition ‘Once Upon A Time’ in its premises on 9th September, 2017, in which students from twelve schools participated.
Inter School Story Telling Competition ‘Once Upon A Time’ comprised of three categories, which were ‘pre-prepared story’, ‘picture story composition’ and ‘weaving a story with the words given’. Each category had one student participant from each school.
For the first event, students narrated a pre-prepared story using props.The creative and artistic use made judges wonder as this competition was only for Grade IV and V. For the second and the third event students were given half an hour to write the stories and then 15 minutes for preparation. Then they presented it in front of the judges. Through this the judges judged their thinking abilities, creative writing, use of vocabulary etc. The participating schools were: Vidyatree Modern World College, Kunwars Global School, La Martiniere Girls College, G.D Goenka School, Delhi Public School Jankipuram, Jaipuria School, Kunskapsskolan School, Modern Academy, Lucknow Public School Sahara States, Spring Dale School, Pioneer Montessori Inter College and New way Senior Secondary School.
