Author Description

Storyworld are multicultural collections of traditional and contemporary literature for junior and lower secondary pupils. The books include myths, legends, folk tales, fables, poems, prayers, short stories, extracts from novels, and plays. Each piece has been chosen to develop personal, social, moral and spiritual values which make the anthologies a useful resource for assemblies and religious education. The Teacher's Notes show how to develop these values through a variety of follow-up work. The books can be used as individual readers or as group texts or for extended exploration of themes and situations. Storyworlds will help pupils to understand themselves and those they live with, and will introduce them to a rich multicultural heritage.
