Audience

We started this lesson by telling each saying a couple of sentences of a story, not worrying so much about the content, but concentrating on how we were saying it, changing our target audience each time. We had to think about the tone of our voices, the language we were using, aswell as our body language and gestures. After this we tried telling the stories without using any faical expression or moevemnt, just using our voice to make it age appropriate. This was really difficult as we found isolating your voice from your face especially, when your trying to be over the top with your voice. Next we tried telling an inappropriate story in a way that was appropriate for young children by changing ther tone and language we were using. This was good as it showed you how much we need to think about the words we're using when talking to young children, making sure we use words that they can understand. 

We looked at creating the stmosphere for a scene, not just making the setting. By adding sounds, movement and music we brought many different places to like, creating an atmosphere for the audience, making it like they were there and bringing the story to life. The last thing we did was having one person narrate a story while the rest of the class created it and filled in the dialogue where it was needed in the story.
