Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Project-Based Learning, Inquiry-Based, Think-Pair Share Activities, Creative Exercises: The teacher introduces the art of narration and takes learners through the processes of putting together a simple narrative fiction through strong written visuals with an emotional impact, using the following literary elements:
- Plot
- Character development
- Theme
- Visual Descriptions
- Point of View
- Imaginative Language
- Emotional Appeal
Each group is then asked to prepare a draft of their story and make an oral presentation in class, reading from a script, with the record of the contribution of each member to the project.
De-stressing Stories: Speaking out and telling your story help to alleviate stress. Learners may use it to talk out their worries, and to vent out pent up feelings and emotions for their mental health and a solution to stress.
Collaborative learning: Forming mixed-ability groups of learners gives high cognitive abilities a platform to tell their observations, while it gives low cognitive abilities a way of collaborating with and learning from their peers.
Learning from experiences of others: Stories help learners to explore significant differences of human ideas, beliefs, just as they help them to discover ordinary human ways of understanding life, and how they manage their deficiencies and overcome their challenges.
