Candlelight Stories A variety of fairy tales and folk tales are to be found at this site. Some are in audio version, others in text with illustrations. One fun activity, is a Fairy Tale newscast script written by sixth grade students. Your students may want to print the script to perform or use the idea to create their own television program using fairy tale characters. Fourteen tales are presented in audio in Russian, with four translated into English and available in text.
Students can click on several beautiful illustrations to see in detail.
This site will appeal to the artists in your classroom and can be used to encourage them to examine the artwork and then create their own detailed paintings and drawings. Where People Rarely Ever Go The creator of this site, Phillip Martin, lived in Zwedru, a town in Liberia, West Africa while working as a Peace Corps volunteer. The tales posted on this site are ones he collected from the area. In addition to stories such as The Spider and the Honey Tree, which are available in illustrated text format, each story has been scripted for student performances, and a coloring page is available to download. Also on the site are Liberian recipes to extend student experiences in a way that appeals to both kids and adults.
