Using Story, Case Studies and 'timeline' in PSHE education
In the first part, Nick offers some sage advice on how to choose and use stories for a range of PSHE topics and contexts, as well as offering up some of his own favourite examples for inspiration.
“We don’t have the right to ruin a story for children. We have to remember an author has offered us this story and we have to ‘put it back together’ again and reconnect children with the joy of the story and not leave it broken or in pieces.”
The second instalment explores different ways to deconstruct stories for children and young people, including using case studies and ‘timeline’.
“Story can offer us a route into exploring and challenging any incorrect assumptions about [social] norms we might uncover with our class.”
