I’ve always been fascinated with memories my mind keeps. I have vivid episodic memories dating back to the time I was about 2-years old. I remember seeing John F. Kennedy as his motorcade drove past my elementary school. I remember seeing Lee Harvey Oswald being shot on TV.
Using memories such as these, I have found storytelling to be an effective tool in the classroom. By sharing personal episodes, my students can compare my experiences with their own.
