Creative Writing #13: An African Storybook Project Report back from Stirling Primary in East London

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is another class hard at work creating stories for the African Storybook Project.  I have written about the African Storybook Project in a number of posts. The website is hopefully going live in July with stories written by South Africa teachers. If you would like your class to write stories suitable for Grade 3 students across Africa to read, please submit them by 21 June and use the guidelines found in this post. <a href="http://e-blogschool.blogspot.com/2013/05/theres-still-time-to-submit-story.html">There’s still time to submit a story suitable for a Grade 3 reader for the African Storybook project.
