People talk quite naturally of their highs and lows being as high as a kite or dhania does. A storyline is a timeline showing this is a chart made by participants showing their ups and downs over a period of time. The chart can represent a journey through an online course, work project or by learning a skill. storyline can chart anything that fluctuates such as emotion, involvement, motivation, effort, or difficulty. Usually charting the journey makes it easier for speakers to communicate. It also makes it easier for others to see the big picture, follow the story and ask good questions.
So why should you use storyline well, to provide thinking and preparation time before people tell their story to help people focus on a particular theme while telling their story. For example, involvement, understanding, relevance, confidence performance, to help participants notice similarities and differences in each other's stories to stimulate interest, empathy and support between participants to provide insights into what motivates or demotivate each participant to bring out stories of resilience. For example, if asks, If asked what helps you recover from the dips and for the setup? Well for making individual storylines each participant needs pen and paper. For a more active version, you need to provide participants with five meter ropes for charting their story on the floor. You can also do this in pairs, and if robes or space are limited, participants can tell their stories one at a time.
Another example is storyline where the storyteller creates a wiggly timeline showing their ups and downs. The storyteller then walks along their route while telling their story. This method helps to make everyone a better storyteller. To go beyond storytelling, and encourage the analyzes and discussion of the stories, you will need a good supply of suitable questions. Let me give you some sample questions that stimulate reflections about the storyline that is focused on feelings. Can you name five emotions that you are feeling at different points in your story?
What caused your high points? How did you or others contribute to these points? What did you or others do to help you bounce back from your low points? How did your feelings influence what you said or did in a similar situation in the future? How would you like your storyline to be different four pluses minuses steps, things to watch out for and many more. Don't forget to download the additional material.
Roger Stiles Instead of asking people what happened or how did it go, you can ask them to make a storyline and tell their story. It really helps people to reflect and think before they speak. And when it comes to telling their story, they have a visual aid which helps the storyteller and the audience to really appreciate the story.
