The Better Learning Method Fact vs Fiction

Facts are informative, but also boring and less memorable. Stories and fiction, on the other hand, are more memorable. However, they leave a lot of room for interpretation and the message is not always understood. However, in the context of education, both are important. Take, for example, a classic Greek tragedy.

Dover Publications. https://openlibrary.org/books/OL794938M/Favorite_Greek_myths CLASS EXERCISE In the following activity, students will learn about the power of facts and narratives to convey an idea. Ask the class how they would try to convince someone that smoking is bad for health. After 10 minutes, ask the class if they are more likely to be persuaded by people who present cold facts or by those who tell stories. Show the class the Sprouts video on fact and fiction. Ask students if they would change the way they try to convince others that smoking is bad and how they would combine fact and fiction to prove their point. Ask the class if they think stories should be used more in the classroom and if so, how they should be incorporated into the classroom.
