  • We are wired that way. A story, if broken down into the simplest form, is a connection of cause and effect. And that is exactly how we think.
  • Why does the format of a story, where events unfold one after the other, have such a profound impact on our learning?
  • A story can put your whole brain to work.
  • Exchange giving suggestions for telling stories
  • a story is the only way to activate parts in the brain so that a listener turns the story into their own idea and experience.
  • Write more persuasively—bring in stories from yourself or an expert
  • The next time you struggle with getting people on board with your projects and ideas, simply tell them a story, where the outcome is that doing what you had in mind is the best thing to do.
  • The simple story is more successful than the complicated one

    This website discusses the importance of storytelling when teaching new material to a class. We felt like when most people think of storytelling they only think of teaching in that method to younger kids but it can actually be beneficial to all ages. We thought this website had a lot of good reasons and facts as to why storytelling can be beneficial in the classroom.

    A good story can make or break a presentation, article, or conversation. But why is that? When Buffer co-founder Leo Widrich started to market his product through stories instead of benefits and bullet points, sign-ups went through the roof. Here he shares the science of why storytelling is so uniquely powerful.

      Link 5:  http://realorsatire.com/worldnewsdailyreport-com/ This was chosen to show that there are many sites out there that are not as reliable as you may think. World News Daily Report sounds legit, but when on their page, you can soon start to realize that their journal is faux. Although the articles may be based off of something true, there is so much false information in it causing it to be a fake news article. This is why you need Google Custom Search Engines. They cut out the hassle of clicking on false information websites. How helpful and convenient is that? #lessonplan #websites
