Acclaimed Storyteller Visits YCIS Beijing 备受欢迎的故事作者来访
Storytelling is one of the world’s oldest traditions. Before the invention of writing, civilizations relied upon storytelling as a way to teach and to record history for later generations. Even to this day, despite the proliferation of books and digital devices, storytelling is still one of the best channels through which to teach and learn. Used to enhance any curriculum – from history to math to science – stories can be interwoven into any concept to make it more meaningful and memorable.
讲故事是世界最古老的传统之一。在没有写作之前，人们通过讲故事来教下一代学习及记录历史。及时到了今天，尽管我们有很多书籍及电子设备，讲故事依然是教学及学习的最佳方式。讲故事可以用来加强课程的学习——无论是历史、数学还是科学。讲故事可以穿插到任何环节，让学习变得更有意义和易于记忆。
To highlight the importance of storytelling and to show the ways that it can both enrich students’ learning and foster connections between people, YCIS Beijing invited acclaimed storyteller Jaimie Oliviero to campus where he spent the day giving performances for the entire Primary school section. Gathered in the auditorium, children sat listening attentively and cycling through a range of emotions from excitement to surprise to laughter – all-the-while exercising their own creativity through, as Mr. Oliviero put it, “the freedom to believe.”
北京耀中国际学校邀请了故事作者Jaimie Oliviero来和大家讲述讲故事的重要性，以及讲故事本身如何能丰富学生的学习，及提高人与人之间的互动。Jaimie Oliviero 当天为整个小学部讲故事。学生们齐聚礼堂，听得津津有味。Oliviero先生讲得妙趣横生，也让学生锻炼了各自的创意。
After the storytelling sessions, Mr. Oliviero shared ideas with teachers about how they could enhance story time with their own students or children. He also spoke of the greatest storyteller he’s ever heard – whose voice still gives him goosebumps when thinking back.
讲完故事之后，Mr.Oliviero 和老师分享了如何提高给学生阅读的时间。他提到他曾听到的最好的故事——即使过去多年，他还能记起那时候讲故事的人的声音。
