Storytelling! ♥

Hi! Today I'm going to talk about storytelling! Yep, you can use storytelling in your language classes because everybody loves stories! You can use already existing stories, there are lots stories on the internet or you can create your stories using some tools like me and my friend Seden and Sevda did. We used Microsoft's Movie Maker but you can use Microsoft's Power Point, Photo Story or other tools that you find on the internet. Now I'll give more details about our story! First we created our story then we divided the parts and characters among us then it was time to record it! Well this time it was a failure because we bursted into laughter so many times any ruined the recordings. Finally we managed to record it as two separate parts and later combined them. Second, we had to create visuals for the video we found some photos and drew something then blend them using Adobe Photoshop. ^^ Third, we found music and sound effect suitable for the story and finally created a sound rich cute story! *-* To be honest it was a bit challenging but it was fun! We collaborated and saw how things works in a team task. I might not use it my lessons because it's hard to create a story! :D But I can use already existing ones! ^^   
Let's meet our story characters!

This is Ice Cream Princess!

 This is Ice Cream Princess' unicorn Buttercup!

This is Chili Pepper Joe! 

And finally this is Mr. Turtle!

Here the story we created is! Hope you like! ♥

Once upon a time in Sugar Land, there is a little girl called Ice cream Princess. She doesn't have any friends except from her unicorn Buttercup. Everybody finds her weird because of her passion about discovering other worlds. One day Ice Cream Princess and Buttercup decide to leave the country in pursuit of realizing their dreams. They take some food with them but after 3 days,they run out of food. They are hopeless and helpless.

Suddenly, they hear a sound! It is coming from bushes. They are at the edge of screaming but a Chili Pepper boy appear in that time. Seeing that they are helpless, he comes closer to Ice Cream Princess and says: Hi! My name is Chili Pepper Joe, I am a friend who comes from Chili Pepper Land. What's your name? Ice Cream Princess replies: Hi! My name is Ice Cream Princess and this is my unicorn Buttercup. We come from Sugar Land, we are looking for a place to live happily. Why are you here?
Chili Pepper Joe replies: I left my town, everybody looks down on me because I'm so tiny and I'm also looking for a place like you.
 
Chili Pepper Joe shares his food with them and they continue to walk together. suddenly they hear a sound and see an upturned turtle. Turtle says: "Oh, please can you help me? My feet are too short to turn." Ice Cream Princess and Chili Pepper Joe immediately help the turtle and turn him to together. Mr. Turtle: " Oh, thank you so much. Without you, I wouldn't be able to turn. I want to help you,too.  Chili Pepper Joe says: "You are welcome. We are looking for a place where we can live happily. Can you help us?" Mr. Turtle replies: That's easy, here take these tickets. I'm coming from there. The train will depart in 5 minutes from that stop." Suddenly a stop made up of candies appears. Ice Cream Princess and Chili Pepper Joe thank Mr. Turtle and go to the candy stop. They get on the train and they live happily ever after in Happyland!
