Integrate Storytelling

Purpose

To integrate narrative texts and storytelling into content that is less approachable for some students (e.g., science and math).

Outcome

Students will benefit from storytelling and the non-western roots of information delivery that students may be more used to in their lives outside of school.

Action Steps

  • Teach the traditional content;
  • Then, integrate biographical or historical readings that provide context and demonstrate the significance of the topic.
