Creative, intriguing short stories to make students think and wonder what if. . .
Stories Without End engages students with literature through intriguing short stories that make them think and wonder. What if we could teleport anywhere in the world whenever we wanted to? Will robots ever replace human teachers? Why are some people optimists while others are pessimists? Where does our personality come from?
Stories Without End engages students with creative writing as well. Because the stories have no end, students will have to write their own. With the variety of projects following each story, they'll also find themselves writing character sketches, drawing a scene from the story, interviewing people about the theme of the story, or keeping a dream journal.
And each story is supported with questions and vocabulary activities to introduce the story as well as discussion questions when students have finished reading.
