“Experts notice features and meaningful patterns of information that are
not noticed by novices… Experts (as opposed to ‘novices’) have acquired a
great deal of content knowledge that is organized in ways that reflect a deep
understanding of their subject matter.”
How People Learn
John Bransford
Storylines are much more than
simple flow charts which lay out the order in which lessons are taught. The real
value of storylines is seen when individual lessons are organized by the
concepts they most closely identify with. If the goal is for students to develop
a deep understanding of their subject matter, how much more important it is for
teachers to be aware of this organization, and to point out the connections to
the students. It won’t happen by accident, not in the minds of the students, at
least.
