Abstract	Teaching about the many controversial issues found in social studies is not easy. Teachers often shy away from such topics, especially in classrooms where students may be socially challenged and unaware of the vocabulary and social norms of civil discourse. This article explores how the narrative strategy Storypath can be used as a vehicle for teaching powerful social studies content as well as social and emotional learning (SEL). Specifically, we discuss how Storypath can be used to address issues of racism, injustice, and conflict in the context of studying the Civil War. We also explore how this approach can be adjusted to make learning accessible for students who struggle with social interactions and acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary for academic success.
