Why is storytelling so good in the classroom?

Storytelling is a community activity. 

Stories hold wisdom and insights into culture and into what it is to be human.

Storytelling is our first and most powerful way to communicate ideas.

Kinesthetic learners remember the emotional connections and feelings from the story." (What Makes Storytelling So Effective for Learning - Harvard Business Publishing)
