Building and securing disciplinary thinking in primary history

Session 1: 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 webinar took place in Autumn 2024. The full webinar series is available to access on-demand from April 2025–April 2026.
