Abstract

Story telling in its most basic form is a means by which a culture passes onto the next generation what
they have found to be useful, to be of value, or to be good. Curriculum can be understood as a certain
way of telling a story about the world. By contextualising units of work within a narrative, lessons
become more meaningful, dynamic and engaging for the learner. The burden of this paper will be
explore the importance of narrative as a delivery system for reconceptualising the role of pedagogic
strategies within the curriculum. Additionally, to unpack an emergent conceptualisation of the
transformative potential of narrative for the storyteller.
