Each student, after reading and discussing the story, made a booklet where there are illustrations and some sentences from the story. We use the booklets are very useful for the improvement of the students' writing skills.

I am sending as an attachment a popular Bulgarian folk tale. I have interpreted it in English for the purposes of my 5th year English classroom. We made it a drama using the similar methods to Kristina's. The children retold it with the help of my questions and then they made the script - written as I used that to improve their writing skills as well.
