Storytelling
Narrative
/ˈnerədiv/
noun
What is you narrative about school? What is your narrative about America? What is your narrative about you?
From day one, these are the questions we tackle in the classroom. Sometimes independently. Sometimes in small groups. Sometimes all together. The most important lesson to know is that all of history, personal and global, is a narrative. The way someone has connected the events. History is storytelling. Which means the story can change depending on how we connect the events. And, we have the power, as storytelling historians, to bring to light the stories and narratives that reconnect the events to create a fuller, truer, picture.
In this classroom, we work together to mend the effects of false and hurtful narratives and to take ownership of the story we have to tell.
