"Dr. Thomas Newkirk from the University of New Hampshire wrote an article in March 2012 entitled, “How We Really Comprehend Nonfiction” (if you have not read this, I highly recommend it).  In this article, Dr. Newkirk maintains that it is through narrative elements that we humans actually learn. In other words, it is within the context of story that we make sense of our world. And it was Lucy Calkins, Director of the Reading and Writing Project at Columbia University, who once said, “The stories we tell will have everything to do with how effectively we can convey what we want our kids to learn.  They make goals come alive.”
