Teaching through stories: Making the learning process enjoyable

Storytelling is an art. Look around you and you will see that everywhere around a story rests in the arms of the given moment. It is only through stories that we make a sense of the world. 

Think about it for a second! It is only through stories that we have learned everything in life. Be it the stories of grandparents or the way our teachers explain the concepts in class. Hence, story-telling is an integral part of education and one must enhance this skill to better connect with the pupils.
