Dear Mr Gonzales,
Storytelling is indeed a good way to capture learners’ interest. It is about memories, but it opens the rules to include imagination and to create something new that accepts who they are and where they are in the moment. Creative storytelling does not have to have a beginning, middle and end, nor does it have to make sense. For example, a character can have three names and words can be nonsensical. You seem to apply this technique in History? Nowadays, story-telling is being enhanced with the convergence of sociology, pedagogy, and technology. Many facets of story-telling emulate real life processes, which can be represented either as complex story graphs or as interleaved sub-problems. The question arises: as you are a Social Sciences teacher and you like to follow up on stories of famous people, you have a pertinent historical focus. How do you deal with issues pertaining to Geography and how do you integrate the two disciplines in order to create a real Social Sciences field?
Greetings, RK
