||Welcome to this '''Spoken Tutorial''' on '''The''' '''Power of Storytelling,'''
|-
|| 0:04
||These days we hear the word storytelling everywhere.
|-
|| 0:09
||But what is it? Where can we use it?
|-
|| 0:12
||Can we use it to learn better?
|-
|| 0:14
||Connect deeply with our friends and family?
|-
|| 0:17
||Or get our dream jobs?
|-
|| 0:19
||'''Let’s figure it out in this tutorial.'''
|-
|| 0:23
||So what is storytelling?
|-
|| 0:25
||Storytelling is the art of conveying a message.
|-
|| 0:29
||It is done often through words, images, or actions.
|-
|| 0:36
||It is done to engage and grab the attention of the audience.
|-
|| 0:41
||It involves creating an interesting plot with well-developed characters.
|-
|| 0:47
||A plot normally has events with twists and turns for the characters to encounter.
|-
|| 0:54
||When we detail the personality of the characters in the story, it becomes well-developed.
|-
|| 01:01
||These elements evoke emotions amongst the audience and helps them connect with the story
|-
|| 01:08
||This makes storytelling a powerful medium for communication and entertainment.
|-
|| 01:16
||Are you now wondering where storytelling can be used?
|-
|| 01:21
||Stories help us remember better.
|-
|| 01:24
||Hearing a story helps us imagine what we are listening to.
|-
|| 01:29
||Stories help us understand different perspectives, and they leave a lasting impact.
|-
|| 01:36
||Let’s look at an example of storytelling.
|-
|| 01:39
||Let me present Newton’s law of Gravity in two different ways.
|-
|| 01:44
||First as a plain definition, and then through a story.
|-
|| 01:50
||Newton’s law of Gravity states that “every particle attracts every other particle in the universe.
|-
|| 01:59
||This happens with a force directly proportional to the product of the masses.
|-
|| 02:05
||The force is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
|-
|| 02:12
||All okay so far?
|-
|| 02:14
||This is one way to present the definition of Newton’s Law of Gravity.
|-
|| 02:20
||Let us now look at presenting the same definition with a story.
|-
|| 02:25
||Imagine Newton was sitting under an apple tree.
|-
|| 02:28
||An apple fell on the ground.
|-
|| 02:31
||He suddenly thought of what could have made the apple fall on the ground.
|-
|| 02:37
||Did this event inspire him to come up with Newton’s law of gravity?
|-
|| 02:43
||He proposed that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe.
|-
|| 02:50
||In this case, the attraction is between the ground and the apple.
|-
|| 02:55
||This happens with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses
|-
|| 03:01
||The force is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
|-
|| 03:08
||Ok tell me, as a listener, which of the two will you remember better?
|-
|| 03:15
||Just the plain definition of Newton's law of gravity?
|-
|| 03:19
||Or the definition presented with the apple story?
|-
|| 03:23
||The apple story sparks curiosity, and leaves an image in the listener’s mind.
|-
|| 03:30
||You may wonder what made the apple fall down in the first place.
|-
|| 03:36
||If the tree was shorter, would it impact the force?
|-
|| 03:41
||If the apple was heavier, what would have happened?
|-
|| 03:46
||Or - what if he was sitting under a coconut tree?
|-
|| 03:50
||Storytelling is fun. isn’t it?
|-
|| 03:54
||Now let’s look at how we can use storytelling in our day to day life.
|-
|| 04:00
||To make you understand this better, again, I will give you two examples.
|-
|| 04:05
||Imagine a student named Raja.
|-
|| 04:09
||In a job interview, he is trying to convince his interviewers to hire him.
|-
|| 04:15
||It is an Ed-tech Company.
|-
|| 04:18
||He tells them about the marks he has scored so far.
|-
|| 04:22
||He shows them all the certificates, and medals he has received.
|-
|| 04:27
||Imagine another student by the name Rahul.
|-
|| 04:31
||Along with his certificates and medals, he tells them a story about himself.
|-
|| 04:37
||He begins by telling them about his school in his hometown.
|-
|| 04:42
||The school lacked good computer teachers during his early years.
|-
|| 04:47
||There were many days, the teachers wouldn’t turn up.
|-
|| 04:51
||The students would be left not knowing what to do.
|-
|| 04:55
||One day, an NGO offered to help his school.
|-
|| 04:59
||It’s mission was to teach computer skills to rural children using technology
|-
|| 05:05
||With their support the students got access to good computer education.
|-
|| 05:11
||The absence of teachers did not matter anymore
|-
|| 05:15
||The NGO encouraged students to be self-learners.
|-
|| 05:19
||It also improved the level of confidence in students
|-
|| 05:24
||He told them that he wished to help students from backgrounds similar to his.
|-
|| 05:30
||He added that this is the reason why he wants to join the company.
|-
|| 05:35
||Now let us see how the interviewers could have perceived both the presentations.
|-
|| 05:41
||First let’s see Raja’s case.
|-
|| 05:44
||The interviewers may be interviewing a lot of people.
|-
|| 05:49
||If what is presented is not interesting, it is likely that they will forget.
|-
|| 05:55
||Do you think it is interesting to see someone’s certificates and medals?
|-
|| 06:00
||Next, let’s see Rahul’s case.
|-
|| 06:04
||Remember, along with his certificates and medals, he narrated his story?
|-
|| 06:10
||Through his story, Rahul gave an idea of his early years to the interviewers.
|-
|| 06:16
||When they heard his story, they would have imagined him as a little boy in a school
|-
|| 06:22
||They would have picturized a school without teachers.
|-
|| 06:26
||Then imagined students studying in front of a computer
|-
|| 06:32
||Rahul used the story to help his interviewers to get an idea about his early life
|-
|| 06:38
||He also made his intentions very clear.
|-
|| 06:43
||What do you think?
|-
|| 06:45
||Will the interviewers remember Raja or Rahul?
|-
|| 06:48
||Raja would have also had a story.
|-
|| 06:52
||Just that he didn’t choose to communicate that.
|-
|| 06:56
||This structured way to convey a narrative is known as Problem-Action-Result format.
|-
|| 07:03
||It will be called PAR in the following tutorials of the same series.
|-
|| 07:10
||Let’s break Rahul’s narration in the PAR format:
|-
|| 07:14
||What was the problem?
|-
|| 07:16
||In Rahul’s school there were not sufficient teachers.
|-
|| 07:21
||What was the action taken?
|-
|| 07:23
||His school provided them access to computer education through an NGO
|-
|| 07:29
||What was the result achieved?
|-
|| 07:31
||He and his fellow classmates became confident self-learners.
|-
|| 07:36
||Ok, Now, let us summarize.
|-
|| 07:40
||In this tutorial, we have learnt about the power of storytelling in our communication.
|-
|| 07:46
||Storytelling is vast, and we have only given an introduction.
|-
|| 07:51
||With this we come to the end of this tutorial.
|-
|| 07:55
||As an assignment do the following -
|-
|| 07:59
||Open the file Mahatma-Gandhi's-Salt-March.txt available in the code file link.
|-
|| 08:06
||Read the story and categorize it in the PAR format
|-
|| 08:11
||Identify the problem.
|-
|| 08:13
||What was the action taken?
|-
|| 08:15
||What was the result produced?
