Why R.Kipling Dramatization? Tips for Teachers.

The Text of the tale "An Elephant's Child" by R.Kipling in 1903, contains the features of the polylogue with a fairy plot. It is sated with a lot of dialogue, its sentences are transformed easily from direct speech to the indirect one, and vice-verse. Besides, this tale is a successful combination of the prose and the poetry in one work of art. Its poem "Six serving men" promotes a quick attaching to the memory words-questions. Also, in the text of the tale there is a lot of reiterations that strengthen this process.The author adds a new word to the used phrase, repeating it once again. As a result the same words are composed in new sentences as in the kaleidoscope. For example:

1st: My father has spanked me

My mother has spanked me

All my aunts and my uncles have spanked me for my Curiosity....

2nd: How strange

My father and my mother

and my uncle and aunt

and my other uncle the baboon

and my other aunt the Hippopotamus

have all spanked me

for my Curiosity...

3d: Nobody spanked anybody more...

Pupils are very interested in the creative activities of R.Kipling , because against a background of urbanization, social gaps, the low level of the pop-art, the original harmony of the flora's and fauna's world , its original colours and forms influences on

beneficially upbringing of the young soul.

• Joseph Rudyard Kipling was born on the 30th of December, 1865, in India , Bombay. The tales written for his son and daughter in the interesting and gay manner, took the especial place in his creative works. These tales teach us the diligence, blame the ruddiness, laugh at the folly, the vanity. We may see the best features of the Kipling’ talent as a fine narrator , a great master of words.
