Abstract

This study was quantitative and an experimental technique was used to collect data. A total of 40 students at the elementary level as participants were selected for the study from Moon System of Education Bahawalpur. These students were divided into two groups. 20 students were in the control group and 20 students were in the experimental group. Pre-test and post-test as research tools were taken to assess whether students use figurative words in their story or not and a checklist was designed to find out the pattern of story writing and scores were given to the students according to it. A statistical package of social sciences was used to analyze the data. The conclusion showed that teaching stories by providing students understanding of figurative words is very helpful for the improvement of their writing skills in 8th standard.
