Example Reflection–Storytelling

challenge & selection:    Storytelling is a great tool that refresh the mood of the listeners and pass the message to

him easily .The advantage of storytelling is that you can use with people of different ages

(senior or junior etc) so they can receive our message behind our storytelling easily and

make them create a new ideas , all that without losing their attention and it make them

excited more and more to our subject. As a student ,my teacher use to tell us story in the

beginning of each lesson so he can get our attention and make us more interacting to this  lesson finally he manage to create a great education area ,it was that time when  storytelling get my attention so I try to use it with my school mates ,also I use it in my

team when we try to prepare a project In or out side school also it helps me reduce stress

when face to face communication with many people.     Application:    I have a story about using storytelling. One of my teacher back in high school call me and  ask me to give his students a lecture against cheating and its consequences as his old  student. So I take the initiative and I bent on give them all what they need to quit this bad  habit. When I arrived there I realized that the old method of presentation will be boring ,so I  decided to tell them my story instead . First I told them that back in their age I was cheating  with my friend back then but wise man told us that exam are not the end of the world and  just a tool evaluation of student and the important is the skills and information that we have  learn. After that I realized that greed had blind my eyes and unfortunately I couldn’t save  my friend from that road . In end I succeed high school and I entered the university that I  had dream as for my friend ,who never stopped cheating failed the exam and finally he drop  out of school.    After a year the teacher call me and told me that my story make the magic out of them it  reduce cheating to 0 case.

Insight & Approach:

well it appears that my story had a huge impact on student. The two character in my story

make student compare between the first character that change his road and the second

character who didn’t change and they start visualize themselves in two position the failure  or victory and automatically take the victory choice .    The result surprised me a little bit ,but after taking this course I realized how power full it  was the tool that I use.    Next time in such a situation . I would like to use “ mind mapping “ before the tool of

storytelling because it makes me understand more about stakeholders to shape my story in  better way.
