Title Slide |
Welcome to this Spoken Tutorial on The Power of Storytelling, |
Slide 2
What are we going to learn |
These days we hear the word storytelling everywhere.
But what is it? Where can we use it? Can we use it to learn better? Connect deeply with our friends and family? Or get our dream jobs? Let’s figure it out in this tutorial. |
Hand bringing the Question mark icon sticker on the screen from the bottom to center in motion. | So what is storytelling?
Storytelling is the art of conveying a message. |
show a person standing in front of a microphone. | It is done often through words, images, or actions. |
Show an audience sitting in an auditorium. | It is done to engage and grab the attention of the audience. |
Hare and the tortoise story image. | It involves creating an interesting plot with well-developed characters. |
Hare and the tortoise story image with tortoise in the front. | A plot normally has events with twists and turns for the characters to encounter. |
Image of tortoise wining the race. | When we detail the personality of the characters in the story, it becomes well-developed. |
Image of man and lady with hand gestures.
Show an audience sitting in an auditorium. |
These elements evoke emotions amongst the audience and helps them connect with the story |
On the other end show a person standing in front of a microphone.
Next show a screen with an action sequence or group of dancers performing. |
This makes storytelling a powerful medium for communication and entertainment. |
Show moving emoticons.
And make a collage of all the three images and transition to an equal to symbol sign with a text box saying ‘messages’. |
Are you now wondering where storytelling can be used? |
‘Mother reading a book’ graphic/sticker
|
Stories help us remember better. |
Mother reading a book’ + ‘Child listening’ graphics.
Graphics move towards each other from the side (outside of the screen) to the center on the screen.
|
Hearing a story helps us imagine what we are listening to. |
An image of the mother telling a story to her child and make a thought bubble of Hare and the tortoise story on top of the child’s head.
Show the story background and scenes indicating that the child is imagining this while listening to the story.
|
Stories help us understand different perspectives, and they leave a lasting impact.
Let’s look at an example of storytelling. |
Graphic of Newton’s law of gravitation with elements moving. | Let me present Newton’s law of Gravity in two different ways. |
Show two particles.
Write down the formula of Law of gravitation Animate the above drawing |
First as a plain definition, and then through a story.
|
Show newton graphic with number 1 sticker. | This happens with a force directly proportional to the product of the masses.
All okay so far?
|
An image of Newton looking up at the apple tree or show newton graphic with number 2 sticker.
Show Newton sitting and reading a book under an apple tree. Zoom into the tree and show an apple fall. Show Newton thinking with a thought bubble and inside the bubble show the apple falling from the tree. Will this be animated in the bubble? |
Let us now look at presenting the same definition with a story.
Imagine Newton was sitting under an apple tree. An apple fell on the ground. He suddenly thought of what could have made the apple fall on the ground.
|
show two particle Write down the formula of Law of gravitation.
Animate the above drawing |
He proposed that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe. |
Show and zoom into the tree, apple and then show the apple and ground distance. | In this case, the attraction is between the ground and the apple. |
Show newton graphic with number 1 sticker.
Show Newton writing Show the Solar system and how they are connected with the force. |
This happens with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses
The force is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them |
(Expand the newton and apple image with questions on the force that brought the apple down and the impact with altered distances)
Show apple falling with force,directly proportional symbol and earth and apple graphic. Show the distance between apple and earth.
|
Ok tell me, as a listener, which of the two will you remember better?
Just the plain definition of Newton's law of gravity?
The apple story sparks curiosity, and leaves an image in the listener’s mind.
If the tree was shorter, would it impact the force?
|
Animate graphics/stickers of camera, dance, painting, talking, singing etc. on the screen. | Now let’s look at how we can use storytelling in our day to day life. |
Fade out the previous screen and show a hand showing two fingers. | To make you understand this better, again, I will give you two examples. |
Show a student in formals on the left side of the screen. | Imagine a student named Raja. |
Show Raja sitting in front of his interviewers. | In a job interview, he is trying to convince his interviewers to hire him. |
Show him talking to the interviewers.
|
It is an Ed-tech Company. |
Raja sitting in front of his interviewers showing some documents or highlighted documents.
Show certificates and medals on the screen. |
He tells them about the marks he has scored so far.
|
Show another student in formals on the left side of the screen. Create a specific look for him to be identified as Rahul. | Imagine another student by the name Rahul. |
Show a vintage video reel with each reel showing different scenarios along with Rahul’s graphic.
|
Along with his certificates and medals, he tells them a story about himself.
He begins by telling them about his school in his hometown. |
Show one by one the teachers disappearing or a classroom with students but no teacher. | The school lacked good computer teachers during his early years.
There were many days, the teachers wouldn’t turn up. |
Show two students on their bench with worried expressions talking to each other. | The students would be left not knowing what to do. |
Show some students sitting in a hall with the N-G-O company people wearing formals and ID cards talking to them. | One day, an NGO offered to help his school. |
Show the NGO people showing a computer to the students.
Rahul and students standing before computers |
It’s mission was to teach computer skills to rural children using technology
|
Show the interviewers sitting in front of the ed tech company logo. Blur the interviewers and highlight and focus on the logo. Keep the logo as ‘ed-tech’. | Now let us see how the interviewers could have perceived both the presentations. |
Show a student in formals on the left side of the screen
|
First let’s see Raja’s case.
|
Next, let’s see Rahul’s case.
Remember, along with his certificates and medals, he narrated his story? | |
Show Rahul talking with a talk bubble. Show the school inside the bubble. | Through his story, Rahul gave an idea of his early years to the interviewers.
|
Show one by one the teachers disappearing or a classroom with students but no teacher. | They would have picturized a school without teachers.
|
Rahul used the story to help his interviewers to get an idea about his early life
| |
Show the interviewers picture. | What do you think?
|
Show pictures of Raja. | Raja would have also had a story.
|
Slide showing P-A-R alphabets.
|
This structured way to convey a narrative is known as Problem-Action-Result format. |
Show PAR | It will be called PAR in the following tutorials of the same series. |
