How can teachers make teaching different beginnings for stories more engaging?

Teachers can make teaching graphic novels engaging by using multimedia resources. For instance, they can show movie adaptations related to the graphic novel if available. This helps students make connections between different mediums. Another way is to bring in guest speakers, like comic book artists or writers, who can talk about the creation process of graphic novels.

Using hands - on activities also works well. In a physics class, instead of just lecturing about forces, let the students conduct simple experiments with objects to experience and understand the concepts of force and motion directly.

Teachers can also encourage students to participate actively by setting up a reward system for good performance and participation.

One way is to incorporate humor into the story. A funny story will make students laugh and they will be more engaged. Teachers can also change the ending of a well - known story and use new vocabulary in the new ending. This adds an element of surprise. Additionally, teachers can have a vocabulary treasure hunt within the story. They can give hints about where the new words are hidden in the story and let students find them.

One way is to incorporate some simple props like fake cobwebs or a dim flashlight to create an eerie atmosphere. Also, encourage students to participate by asking them to predict what will happen next in the story. This makes them more involved and interested.

Use multimedia. Play movie clips related to adventure stories, like scenes from 'Indiana Jones'. It grabs students' attention. Then relate it to the written story.

Mum can use vivid language to describe the characters and settings in her stories. For instance, instead of just saying 'there was a boy', she could say 'there was a curious little boy with bright blue eyes and a mop of curly hair'.

Incorporate some simple sound effects like creaking doors or howling winds. This will draw the students in and make the stories scarier. For example, you can play a soft wind sound in the background while telling a story about a haunted house. Also, encourage students to act out parts of the story. This makes them more involved and gives them a better understanding of the story's mood.

One way is to use different voices for different characters in the story. It adds a lot of fun and makes the story come alive.

Teachers can make it more interesting by using role - playing. For instance, students can act out scenes from Hawthorne's short stories. This brings the stories to life. Also, inviting guest speakers who are experts on Hawthorne can add a new perspective.
