Minds Made for Stories

Tom Newkirk's "Minds Made for Stories" explores the fundamental role of narrative in human cognition and learning.

Newkirk argues that narrative isn't just a genre of writing, but a fundamental way we make sense of the world.

He demonstrates how narrative structures underpin our understanding of information and argumentation.

The book challenges traditional categorizations of writing, suggesting that narrative is inherent in all forms of expression.

Newkirk's insights offer valuable implications for educators seeking to foster deeper understanding and engagement in students.

Ultimately, the book advocates for a more holistic approach to writing instruction that recognizes the power of narrative to shape thought and understanding.
