How does good storytelling serve disciplinary thinking?

Why is storytelling so crucial to the journey of the lesson? How does powerful storytelling make knowledge memorable meaningful? How can I get better at storytelling? How does storytelling help children wrestle with disciplinary questions about cause, change and similarity and difference? This webinar will use stories from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and the Maya to consider these questions.

This is a recording of the opening webinar in the Autumn 2024 series Building and securing disciplinary thinking in primary history.
