STORIES ARE YOUR BEST LESSON PLANS
Engage your students with story
Human beings are creatures of narrative. Stories define us. We use story to entertain, stories to strengthen bonds, stories to persuade, stories to sell, stories to understand the world, stories to communicate. Story and language are inseparable. Why would you ever leave story outside your classroom?
LessonStream is a community of teachers and educators. Together, we explore possibilities for using story to engage students, get them thinking creatively and communicating in English.
LessonStream was founded by Jamie Keddie.
