The Plot Unfolds
Sometimes the tie between stories and projects is strong and seamless. Other times 
it takes creativity to connect the two. The first step of the planning process is to 
determine an interesting theme around curriculum standards. 
I ask myself, "What is a major lesson I want my students to take away from this 
story?" Once I have a climax, I work backward. I try to devise what we need throughout 
the entire story, or unit, to get to that big moment and resolve the conflict
—
an authentic 
task for them to complete to learn the material. 
After my students met Danysa, they were inspired to create tools for refugees to 
use during the transition to life in America, such as how-to flashcards, instructional 
videos, and cookbooks. They still wrote essays, read articles, and took tests, but it was 
not grades or even the learning that motivated their hard work. It was the fact that they 
were a part of an unfolding story with real conflict in a real setting. 
They didn’t simply obtain and regurgitate information; they experienced the rising 
action of brainstorming about and creating the new tools. To help them understand the 
plot, we studied the world history of refugees and the industrial revolution through 
traditional methods like lectures and reading. At the end of the project, they presented 
their resources to a social-work agency that now uses the tools on a daily basis. My 
students felt the satisfaction of resolving the conflict in front of them
—
which included 
discussion and reflection about the effectiveness of their project.

The Science Behind the Story
Stories not only provide entertainment and connection; they have the power to help 
students absorb information in a lasting way. Research shows that story-centered 
learning makes knowledge gained in the classroom more memorable. A group of 
neuroscience researchers from Princeton University
