Additional text
Mike Tveten has got it right! Stories engage people emotionally in the idea, concept, or content the speaker is communicating! In short, stories literally “light up” and activate more regions of the brain than when content is delivered as an informational lecture. It is a part of the secret sauce that moves us toward becoming a captivating educator that touches the lives of our students.
