Stories

I have to agree with you Sandy on stories and how the students as well as my own children remember stories. We can be having dinner and something is mentioned and it brings up a story, remember when we did this or that and how much fun we had. I am finding our more and more about teaching standards that if I put in a story as an example they remember it faster and the analogy I used to try and help them. When you also mentioned how people see things differently its really interesting to hear what children say about events or pictures and point out things we never even thought of or didn't understand or intrepret it that way.
