But how, when there are so many dreary textbooks and repetitive curriculum requirements? Covering everything that they need to know is about all a school can do. What approach would work, when there are million other things for them to do? Ioanna Georgiou and Asuka Young have come up with a novel approach that is based on stories from history - with a twist!
