4. After a lot of discussion  with the story collobrators we thought that a certain common  format would be great.

1. The title of the story

2. Below the title the name and the age of the author.

3. The country and the city to which he or she belongs.

4. The glossary of meaning of local  words  or context so that the story is understood by the readers and there is appreciation of the same .

5. A photograph of the Author and a illustration  of the story. The illustration can be done by another student and the name  and class can be also written on the illustration.

 6. The teacher is asked to write an ABSTRACT - one for their students. Abstract should include the importance of storytelling in their society and its importanace as persived in today`s context. Thank you! Word count: 100 words. The photo of the teacher needed.

7. We would like to present teacher`s short bibliographies in our book. Thus send us them as we did for our previous book, available at: www.book.annakrzeminska.pl

8. We would also like each country/teacher send us the quotation on storytelling or importance of literature said by your known poets/writters/known people.

For example,

•The Dalai Lama:

•“Each one of us has an innate desire to seek happiness and overcome suffering.” He also said, “Your enemies are your best teachers.”

•Great stories mirror this reality. Seeking happiness is our motivation. Overcoming suffering is doing battle with our internal and external self. Instinctively, humans are interested in how others deal with their problems. Funneling this curiosity into the narrative is what actually releases the emotions that wrap around the facts and create the story.

 

The stories can be sent in the word format. Easy to edit.

 

Thank you .

 

Hope to be reading the stories by 15th June.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
