In surgery you have to have rhythm, I  my medical class I teach my surgical tech students rhythm with my African drum called the Djembe.

I find learning and listening to your students can be helpful when using a story. I have found that diversity can be touchy during current events. I have learned how to use such topics to help students stay focus on their class work instead of the current event.

I am a professional storyteller for over 40 years, I have been teaching for the pass 19 years I learned to use storytelling to engage the students, motivate them, and to use the stories with their test taking. I love to bring the topic a live I find storytelling address all the learning style.

I take a lab skill and  turn it into a story by bringing it alive with humor and classroom participation. Example: I teach a surgical tech program, there is a process the surgeon uses to enter the abdominal cavity.  ( marker, knife, clamp, tie, suture scissors., etc. ) So I chose 5 students to be each item above. A narrator starts out with I AM A - and the student who is the marker stands up and says I am a marker, the next student stands up and says, I am the knife. can you see the lesson coming alive?
