EXAMPLE REFLECTION- STORY TELLING 

 CHALLENGE AND SELECTION : 

 Storytelling is an “ essential human activity ” for sharing experiences , explaining values , and deciding on   solutions through vivid verbal and visual accounts . I work with low - Income students and This example is   of my journey finding out if story telling and design thinking can help in finding out the deeper problems   faced by these students . I believe so they can and the reasons are stated below 

 Storytelling helps explain the interconnections among people in situations and settings , teaching broad   lessons that engage real human beings . Listening engages people ; and   empathy is an essential and   fundamental component in the process . 

 Storytelling is the essential human activity . The harder the situation , the more essential it is . – Tim   O’Brien , ( writer ) 

 Stories generate questions and questions expand the breadth and depth of stories , leading to lots of   innovative thoughts and ideas . Storytelling becomes an important tool for feedback , which is the basis   of the iterative process of prototyping that lead to solutions . Stories and prototypes are intertwined ,   explaining and repositioning experiences through a multitude of potential interpretations , which allow   researchers to test new solutions before committing exclusively to a particular policy , program , or   service . 

 Stories take on a variety of forms : digital storytelling , visual storytelling , storyboards , scenario   generation , storytelling through videos , skits or plays , animation , talk and image , text or image . These   forms open up possibilities for many analytical approaches including , thematic , content , discourse ( use   of language ) , and structural . The trends and patterns derived from these analyses , in turn , form the   bases of additional qualitative and quantitative data collection that value human needs as the authentic   foundation of research - based challenges , opportunities and solutions . 

 APPLICATION : 

 On a weekly basis , I narrated real life stories of kids from the similar background and stated their   problems to find out the relatability attribute of the similar problems with the kids I currently work with   so that It is better easier to get a deeper understanding .   For Example , A story I narrated to kids one day   was about this girl called sheela , hails from a small village , who was beaten up by her parents everyday   and was not aware that she can fight against it . That ’s when one of my students questioned can we   actually fight against this ? So I could understand that this student was facing similar problems . Story   telling helps in creating a much more comfortable   environment and also helps in better understanding . 

 INSIGHT AND APPROACH : 

 I was taken aback by how much story telling made us learn more about the kids . As we continued to do   the same activity by providing the kids individual attention and also made the visualization technique 

 and told them to do posters of what is the one thing they would like to change in their life , In this way   the sketches also helped them a lot . Once they could relate to   what we told they did not feel alone . 

 This course has broadened my mind with the kind of oppurtunities design thinking opens to and how   story telling would help me in implementing ideas .
