Hankel Elementary School | English Storytelling Competition
Every student is the main character of their own story.

During this English Storytelling Competition, the students on stage were even more engaged than the audience.
Some brought their stories to life with expressive voices, vivid gestures, and animated facial expressions; others stood confidently with clear pronunciation and a steady pace, a composure that could only come from dedicated preparation.
As part of the competition, teachers introduced a special random draw segment.
After each student finished presenting their prepared story, they were asked to draw an unfamiliar story on the spot and read it aloud.
This activity was designed to develop students' ability to think on their feet and use language flexibly, going beyond memorization to build the confidence to express themselves in unexpected situations.
Faced with a story they had never seen before, students may have paused for just a moment, but they took a breath, opened the book, and began. That willingness to try, even in the face of the unknown, reflects exactly the kind of learning spirit Hankel Education values most.
Every student who stepped onto that stage deserves a round of applause.
