Storybuilding (Resource Books for Teachers)

Why was this book written? Stories are very much part o f our lives as adults as well as children. We hear stories every day on the news, read them in the newspaper, exchange them with friends as jokes, anecdotes, rumours, stories overheard or ways o f sharing confidences. We collect stories we consider funny, surprising or shocking, and which throw light on what is happening in the world and our views about this. It is one way we exchange information, both about events that have really happened, and those that have been imagined.
