Decide what your story is going to be about.  Choose a topic about which you know something.  Quite often, an event in your own life as c child can be used as the core basis of your story.  \n\nHow old will your readers be?  This will determine how large your vocabulary is. (If they are very young, important words should be repeated in the telling of your story.)\n\nChoose your characters.  Often one stands for good, and the other one creates problems.  \n\nWhat is the must exciting secion of your story?  Choose a clever title.  You must have colorful pictures. \n\nPicture yourself climbing a mountain.  Imagine what happens as you climb up the mountain.  When you get to the top of the mountain, you are at the most exciting point.  What do you see and feel as you come down the mountain?  Your last paragraph should sum up the story and give the reader "good all over feelin".   You write your story with your points or examples in the story in the same order as if you were climbing the mountain.

Haven't you ever watched someone doing something to learn how it's done? Same principle. Through reading you're not only learning grammar, spelling and sentence structure (by the way it's the easiest way to learn these things) but also how the story, document etc. is developed and told. Plus, you get an idea from as many different writters as your choose to read.

A creative opening is the best way to catch interest in any written work. If you catch someone in teh first sentence, you'll have them for the entire report.  AN interesting line from one of teh Characters in teh book or a quote by teh book's author are good ways to go.  You could also try asking a qeustion in the beginning that you answer throughout the report.

I don't know if there is a MOST effective strategy.  Anything that gets the students thinking works well.  It also depends on how long the text is.\n\nSome ideas:  \n\nDecision walls - Put a yes/agree card on one wall and and a no/disagree on the other.  Make the students take a stand.  Ask them questions related to the text that they must agree or disagree with.  Get them to explain their answers.\n \nIf the text has pictures, give the kids one and ask them to predict the story.\n\nIf you're working with a non fiction text, try to give them a short (5 Q's) true false quiz with the strangest info in the text.  \n\nThere's always Think - Pair - Share to get the students thinking as well.

I use novels and films quite often in my courses (in comparative religion).  Many of my colleagues in other departments do so as well.  \n\nHowever, the statement that "people learn best from narrative" is not always true.  People have many different learning styles.  Some are tactile learners, for instance.  \n\nI have learned that the most effective professors will incorporate many different types of materials into their syllabi so that they are able to accommodate a broad range of learning styles.

I have realized that TV advertising affects my buying pattern, but the most effective is word of mouth... it really works.

Almost always.I believe honesty is the best policy, even if it does get one into trouble sometimes.\n\nEveryone jokes around sometimes, though. I have such a wry sense of humor that some people do not know when to take me serious & when not to though.

When used correctly, technology media are very effective as reinforcers for near-mastery material, introducing discussion topics, etc.\n\nMost people learn best when presented information repeatedly, in a variety of formats.

First of all what lesson?\n\nIf you mean in general I would have to say motivation is the best was to start a lesson.  Get the learners motivated about what they are about to learn.

Before there was a written lanaguage that was understood by a variety of classes, stories were neccessary to pass information about history, morals, hunting and cooking techniques, information about the survival of the species etc from one person to another.  This ensured that important information was not lost over time.  Stories were also used to teach information about trade from one generation to the next so that sons would learn from their fathers and daughters would learn from their mothers the skills that they would use to survive.  \n\nNowadays, thanks to a great education system, almost all of Western society has access to written stories, as well as spoken ones.  Stories are mainly used for entertainment, but most children also primarily learn to read through stories, and we still teach important morals and values using the story system (not a very good example, but why were you always extra good around Christmas as a kid?  Could it have been that you were told that Santa Clause would bring you presents if you were?  Is that basically teaching that good actions bring about rewards?)
