Tom Cox on Telling a Great Story in History Class
Mr. Tom Cox's approach to telling great stories in the classroom starts with a self-limiting 3×5 notecard. The challenge when telling any story from history is that all such stories run together, are infinitely entangled, and lack the defined clarity of exposition, crisis, climax, and denouement. Mr. Cox provides a practical framework and examples for "putting flesh on dry bones" in an effective, compelling way that students will remember.
This talk was delivered at the Forum Teaching Conference in the fall of 2024.
