The Danger of a Single Story by Chimama Ngozi Adichie

This TED talk by Chimama Ngozi Adichie allows us a glimpse into the reason we as a species are endlessly, helplessly enthralled by stories.

Through digital storytelling, students can gain an appreciation not just for the communicative power, but also for the enduring effects that a story can have on cultures for years and generations to come.
