Using storytelling in the class room
Welcome to Storytelling in the class room
This part of Places is about using storytelling yourself as a teacher.
Learning this method to tell stories takes place in two steps, which you will find here on the page:
- Access to the effective narrative language
- Ideas for how to make your own relevant stories alone or with the students
There are a total of 12 short videos in this section.
We hope that you will enjoy the journey.

Here are som more ideas for using storytelling to share facts, strengthen relations and engaging your students
We hope that you have found it worthwhile to ride along on this journey.
Remember that having a driving license is one thing, only practice makes you an experienced driver on The Highway to Tell.
Have fun!
