After selecting a short story, the students are given the title of each paragraph. They have to write their own stories chapter by chapter. When they have finished, they can compare their own stories to each others’ and to the original one. After that they have the opportunity to decide which story to continue working with. There are many ways how students, teachers, parents and other citizens can be involved in the implementation of the project. Students can
- have a competition
