Claudia Tumba presented creative storytelling lesson planning, emphasizing three stages: pre-, during, and post-story. Pre-story activities build context with games, props (like movie trailers, real items, picture summaries), and vocabulary practice, using gestures and pronunciation. During the story, teachers use voice, characterization, puppets, and sound effects, engaging students with prediction questions and active participation. Claudia demonstrated with “The Greedy Hippo” using props like an inedible fish-and-soap pie. Post-story tasks include sequencing, quizzes, crafts, and using the story as a mentor text for students to rewrite or create their own versions. The goal is to make learning dynamic and personalized.
