stimulate their thinking ability, refresh their mind,
relax their way of learning.

they can create their fully own story and express
their idea.

preparation of the story, so that they will improve
their story.
9. "Studies have shown that
humans retain only 20% of what
they read, but they recall 80% of
symbols."
"Storytelling stimulates the
imagination. Recent studies have
shown that children who lack
imagination are not only prone to
failure in school but are far more
susceptible to violence.“

10. “this method need a long time and some students
may not get the chance to tell their story.”
“make the class smaller by dividing them into
some group and control the class.”
“it needs more preparation and student may just
keep their sheet clean and do nothing.”
“the teacher should take control and know the
situation, the preparation may do in home and in
the class they just do it instantly. While the teacher
can guide the students to write their story.”
11. The teacher should know the
situation of the class and tricks
of keeping the class’ dynamic.
Principally, this technique is
only a way of improving
students’ ability, whether this
technique is successful or not
will depend on the teacher’s
application in the class.
