Presented at the 2025 CiRCE Spring Regional Conference: How to Teach.

Narration is a teaching practice rooted in the rhetorical tradition and globalized into a fundamental tool of learning by John Amos Comenius and Charlotte Mason. Through long-form imitation, students assimilate the beauty of a story, a painting, an informative text or an inspiring speech. When they tell one another or write out in detail the beautiful and rich content they’ve encountered, their education becomes not just informative, but transformative. Come learn how to use narration in your quest to foster wisdom and understanding! Attendees will receive a free lesson planning resource called the Narration-Trivium Lesson.
