Stories Without End – 24 Unfinished Short Stories
What Would You Do? 81 Philosophical Dilemmas for Discussion and Expansion!
Outside the Box – Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories Without End for Learning and Discussion
Stories Without End
2019 ELTons Finalist Stories Without End engages students with literature through intriguing short stories that make them think and wonder. What if we could teleport anywhere in the world whenever we wanted to? Will robots ever replace human teachers? Why are some people optimists while others are pessimists? Where does our personality come from?
“All the English textbooks books I’ve used before are boring, but this is so unique.” Yurie S. ESL Student
What Would You DO?
What Would You Do? by Taylor Sapp is more than just a collection of 81 tricky hypothetical situations. Each dilemma includes suggested solutions, variations, and extension activities so they’re easy to adapt to your students and your classroom.
“The situations in this book go way beyond the usual “What would you do if…” questions I used to use in class, providing both scaffolding and expansion to really take it to the next level. A great resource!” Andrew Lawrence, ESL Professor, Concordia University
Outside the Box
Outside the Box is the latest Stories Without End book, a collection of science-fiction and fantasy stories without endings, leaving students to write their own, drawing on their own creativity. Even the most reluctant writer will find themselves sucked in with this deceptively simple method of getting students to write!
Overall, I found the stories in the book fun to work through and would recommend the book to someone who likes to write YA or who is trying to give some creative direction and fun to their class’s writing assignments. – L. Hall – Amazon Review
