The aim of this study is to elucidate how a number of pupils in grade four experience the Storyline working method and its influence on their perception of oral presentations to the class. The main method used in the study was qualitative interviews. A questionnaire was administered in order to elicit the views of the whole class about Storyline and about talking in front of others, and in order to see which pupils were suitable to interview. The selection consisted of twenty-two pupils in grade, six of whom were interviewed. The result showed that Storyline was appreciated by the pupils, who found the method interesting, engaging, and a positive factor in making the teaching meaningful. The Storyline method has been shown in this study to make it easier for pupils who otherwise find it difficult to talk in front of the class. According to the respondents, this is due to group presentations, visualizations, and the fact that the pupils are not forced to talk about their own lives and experiences. The pupils have fun and are inquisitive, which is a key factor in all teaching.
