discovered a phenomenon called 
neural coupling
. When a person hears a well-told story, his brain physically reacts in 
the same areas as the storyteller’s brain did when he had the actual experience. At a 
chemical level, one cannot tell the difference between the two brains after both have 
heard or experienced the story.

This is why tying the elements of story into any classroom is vital. All teachers 
must help students prepare for standardized tests, and using stories is key for that 
knowledge retention. Even after the test, the information is not forgotten, but seared into 
their brains for a lifetime. This is not to say traditional teaching methods need to be 
abandoned, but direct instruction and individual assignments can exist within stories to 
give meaning and purpose.

Finding the Spark 
When I met a refugee named Danysa through a local social-work agency several 
years ago, I asked if she would be willing to share her story with my students. I wanted 
them to learn more about Danysa’s experience and see what they could do to help 
refugees like her assimilate to the city they now call home. 
Danysa was forced to escape to a refugee camp in Kenya during the Rwandan 
genocide, and lived there for years on rice and corn. When she arrived in Grand Rapids 
more than a decade later, she had never heard of snow. She’d never used a light switch 
or a microwave. For many refugees who come to the United States, struggling to adapt 
to the modern technological world is very common. 
My students were moved by Danysa’s tale of survival. Her experience left them 
unsettled, introducing a conflict that disrupted their ordinary world and set them on a 
journey to solve it. 
And as their teacher, I provided them with a space to do so. My classroom was no 
longer four walls where they learned history and language arts. Instead, it became a 
setting for a plot to unfold. The plight of local refugees and their struggles became much 
more real to them
—
so much so that they decided to take action.
