Students are immersed in the story and characters, turning the content of the book into vivid performances through storytelling combined with dramatization. Moreover, from each story, students can relate to reality and draw meaningful lessons. That is the highlight of the Children's Storytelling Contest based on books, contributing to arousing the passion for reading and building a reading culture for students.
Attending the Children's Storytelling Contest (called the contest for short), organized by the Provincial Library, everyone got to hear familiar stories about heroes, historical figures, tragic stories about the theme of war, love for homeland, country... in a new form, through the emotional and vivid narration of the students. Not only that, the messages and lessons that the children associated with the stories have become valuable lessons for the younger generation.
Bringing to the contest, students from Cu Chinh Lan Secondary School (Thanh Hoa City) told stories about national hero Trieu Thi Trinh - a character mentioned in the book Thanh Hoa Celebrities, volume 1, by the group of authors Hoang Tuan Pho, Van Lang, Nguyen Anh, published by Thanh Hoa Publishing House. The story of heroine Trieu Thi Trinh and the Ba Trieu uprising was told by the students with an emotional, heroic voice combined with the form of dramatization, sound, and vivid props, making the details of the story easy to remember and easy to touch people's hearts.
Participating in the storytelling contest, Cao Phuong Ngan, class 8D, Cu Chinh Lan Secondary School, said: “To prepare for the contest, I searched for and explored the book Famous People of Thanh Hoa. Along with that, I read books and documents about the heroine Trieu Thi Trinh and the Ba Trieu uprising to gain more understanding and better feelings about the character and the story I will tell. After participating in the contest, I realized that I need to make an effort to study, actively self-study, self-train, especially practice reading to improve my skills and knowledge, worthy of being a descendant of the hero Trieu Thi Trinh”.
