Well, it could be a story about a magic paintbrush. The teacher describes how a young artist in the story discovers this paintbrush that can create real - life objects with every stroke. But with great power comes great responsibility, and the young artist has to learn to use it wisely to avoid chaos in the world.

Students might gain historical or cultural knowledge. If the teacher tells a story from a certain period in history or about a different culture, it broadens their understanding of the world around them.

A teacher should choose relevant stories. For instance, if teaching math, stories about famous mathematicians can be told.

The teacher can incorporate relevant pictures or props. For instance, if it's a story about animals, having some small toy animals can make the story - telling more engaging. Also, pausing at key moments to ask questions or make predictions can keep the students involved. For example, asking 'What do you think the character will do next?' makes the students think actively about the story.

Use vivid language. For instance, use lots of adjectives to describe characters and settings.

By using different voices for different characters. This makes the story more vivid and interesting.

It might be a story where a group of students find a magical portal in their school library. They travel to a different world filled with talking animals and have to solve riddles to get back home. The teacher could use this to teach them about problem - solving and friendship.
