Solution:

The teaching method is a way to put theory into practice. It generally describes the pedagogy of children, general principles, and management strategies that are to be used through the whole teaching-learning process.History is a narrative account of the past. It is the story of changing human cultures, beliefs and lifestyles and helps to build up a sense about what could happen in the future.The main purpose of teaching history at the primary level is to make children aware of historical events and to provide knowledge of how our present evolved from the past.There are different kinds of teaching-learning methods which makes learning a fruitful process and the 'Storytelling' is one of them.Storytelling refers to the art of narrating a story more interactively. It is used as a strategy in language teaching which broadens learner's reading choices.In a storytelling approach, the story chosen by the teacher to narrate is directly or indirectly related to the lesson to develop their fullest potential, both educationally and morally.It is used to grab the attention of students and to make the history lesson interesting. It is the best method to teach history, ethics, values, and cultural norms at the primary level.It is the cheapest and easiest modern method of teaching history at the primary level. The students can easily connect to stories as they found it funny and pleasure giving activity.Hence, it could be concluded that the story-telling method is more useful for teaching history at the primary level.Hint Observation methodIt is basically the study of some buildings, facts, individuals, or anything by observing the minor details and drawing a conclusion.It can be done formally or informally and also by hiding the identity of the observer or by revealing it.The teacher wants students to observe some historical monuments but the students may not be able to observe effectively at the primary level.Demonstration methodIt is an approach in which a teacher demonstrates concepts and students learn by observing and improving understanding through visual analysis.The abstract concepts which are difficult to understand, are demonstrated through activities.At the primary level, it's not necessary that all students will actively indulge in the demonstration.Project methodIt is a method that emphasizes the voluntary participation of students by working in a group to complete a specific project.It encourages students to research, analysis, and discover the solution on their own.It may not be useful in teaching history at the primary level as students do not possess the conscience and the required skills at that age.
