STORYTELLING
Stories have power.The
greatest books in
our literature are
stories.In movie-making , a captivating
story will mean the
difference between BOX
OFFICE SUCCESS or
BOX OFFICE FAILURE. Even
the best movie
wardrobe , sound , or effects
are wasted if
there isn”t a
good story line. EVERYONE LOVES
A WELL—TOLD TALE.
Use the power
of a STORY in
your teaching. Stories are
effective word-paintings that
stir the imaginations
of your students
and provide a “
branch “ where you
can hang a
FACT or FIGURE.
Collect and
file STORIES that
illustrate the truths
you teach. MAGAZINES ,
NEWAPAPER ARTICLES , and
the NEWS or
DOCUMENTARIES are veritable
gold mines for
STORIES that will
illustrate your lessons. Drop
them into lesson
plans. GIVE THEM AS
READING ASSIGNMENTS. USE GOOD
STORIES CREATIVELY. TELL THEM
DRAMATICALLY---LEADING your audience
to the punch
line, not pushing
them toward it.
You have
a point to
make , so make
it pointedly ! Let
the FABLE , TALE ,
or PARABLE make
your point for
you. A little pizzazz
WILL turn a
boring presentation into
a memorable one.
Harness the POWER
of a STORY.

CREATE POWER IN
COMMUNICATION. “----Stan
