How does digital editing help children develop their understanding of narrative

The study of narrative frequently draws on structuralist ideas that story structures are formulaic and comparable from culture to culture. There is a theory that these basic narrative structures are recognisable across cultures and similarly across generations. It should follow, therefore, that while children in the 21 Century classroom need knowledge and understanding of the classic examples of narrative schools teach, the Dickens and the Chaucer; teachers can also draw on the understanding of narrative children glean from more contemporary sources, such as films and computer games.
