Teach Geography with an African Folk Tale

Join a virtual staffroom of keen teachers to explore the best teaching method known to science: storytelling. In 2014, Epic Tales and EU Lifelong Learning proved that children perform an average of 26% better in tests when taught through stories, a fact that's since been backed up by London's Institute of Education and Bath University, so we're here to help your learners achieve greater success in English, Maths, Science, and more. Hosted by Oxford Owl storyteller Chip Colquhoun, author of the EU’s guidance on using stories in the classroom, each 15min-or-so episode takes the weekly story in our sister podcast, Fables &amp; Fairy Tales, and discusses it with experienced teachers around a specific curriculum subject. You'll come away with off-the-shelf lesson ideas that are effective, memorable, and enjoyable – all at the same time. To get the stories as special edition paperbacks containing detailed lesson plans, along with artwork by incredible illustrators such as Winnie the Witch's Korky Paul, join the Epic Learning Book Club by visiting <a href="epictales.co.uk/teachhappily" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">epictales.co.uk/teachhappily</a> You can also find us on <a href="Facebook.com/groups/teachhappily" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> for weekly storytelling tips from Chip, and join our discussions on <a href="Twitter.com/teachhappily" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> using @TeachHappily to let us know what topics you'd like us to cover.
