The Power of Storytelling in Apache Culture: Preserving Tradition and Identity

Abstract

This curriculum unit not only aims to bolster students’ research and writing skills but also fosters an understanding of a cultural perspective they might not have explored before. Personal essays are an essential component to this curriculum, aiming at developing students’ self-expression while linking their knowledge to an external cultural environment. This will help students understand how stories powerfully shape identities and cultures, leading students to become empathetic global citizens.
