Storytelling For BY

THE STUDENTS OF FAZLANI L’ACADEMIE GLOBALE SCHOOL CONDUCTED A SIX-WEEK STORYTELLING PROGRAMME FOR STUDENTS FROM STANDARDS THIRD TO TENTH OF NMJ’S BHAVISHYA YAAN.

BY mentor Rtn. Ptn. Jaya Prasad organised the event with the Head of the school Ms. Arwa Baldiwala and supported by teachers of Fazlani and Vidya.

The module provided an opportunity to BY students to interact with the outside world, embarking on an exciting imaginative journey.

The objectives were also to enhance communication skills, instil moral values, inculcate social ethics, improve English vocabulary etc.

For ease of understanding and to keep stories as per their age, BY students from 3rd to 10th standards were divided into three groups.

Ten students of Fazlani school conceptualised the sessions, selected the stories and narrated them to the BY students.

To map the understanding of our young BY students, they were encouraged to narrate the stories back as well as describe them in a visual way.

Novel techniques were skilfully interwoven into the sessions, some of them being Art, Quiz and games such as Housie and Crossword.

The Fazlani students enjoyed playing teachers and, in the process, learnt patience and empathy and were grateful for this rich and unique experience.

It was certainly not a one-sided initiative with our BY students warmly responding to the sessions, enjoying the ‘journey’ into so many worlds spelt out in the various stories.

The team of 10 students from Fazlani was led by the Head Ms Arwa Baldiwala who has always been supportive, looking out for opportunities to add value to our BY students.

In the Weekly Tuesday meeting on November 3rd, 2020, President Framroze Mehta and BY Committee Co-Chair Rtn. Akhil Sanghi mentioned and appreciated this wonderful initiative carried out by Rtn. Ptn. Jaya Prasad and Ms. Arwa Baldiwala. The 10 Fazlani students were felicitated and
