Let's get intimate

Learning Activity 1 : Storytelling

  • Tell us a story, a short personal anecdote of one to two minutes. Whether it's a fun event in your day or an embarrassing or stressful situation. Teach us how you plant your tomatoes this weekend. Tell us about your latest Netflix crush. Read us a poem. Whatever you want, the mic is yours. Be spontaneous, one take. 3-2-1, let's go!
