Description
Finalist, British Council ELTons Awards for Innovation in English Language Teaching, 2019.
Creative, intriguing short stories to make students think and wonder what if. . .
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?
Stories Without End also gets students creating with engaging projects. Because the stories have no end, students will have to create their own. They'll also find themselves writing about one particular character, drawing a scene from the story, interviewing people about the theme of the story, or keeping a dream journal. Each story is also supported with questions and vocabulary activities to introduce the story and followed by discussion questions.
Perfect for teaching reading, creative writing, or discussion. And it's a flexible resource. Use it as the main book for a month-long elective, as a regular supplement activity, or an occasional treat for the students!

Reviews
The different format and the inclusion of pre-reading motivation questions and post-reading discussion questions and activities really make this book stand out among the "writing prompt" books that I've encountered. I also appreciate the diversity in terms of reading levels and genres.-- Brittany G., Teacher
This book is a wonderful jumping point for creative writing in the classroom. You could use this book for any age/grade and adapt the expectation of a creative response to suit.-- Carmen M., Educator
Every classroom should own a copy of this book. . . I will add this one to my "to buy" list in the coming year.-- Catherine H., Librarian
Fascinating book on teaching reluctant readers how to write. Contains stories meant to be expanded with vocabulary and intriguing questions on which ending they would prefer.-- Chel S., Book Enthusiast
The creation of this book was extremely thoughtful. The prompts are interesting and fun. An absolute delight. I've even used a few as starting points for my personal (adult) creative writing exercises--Cass D., Writer and Creator
I loved the stories and ideas in this book, definitely will be found in our library for me or other teachers to use as a resource. I hope more editions like this come out for next year.--Diane K., Librarian
I cannot wait to use Taylor's book with my students. His "Stories Without End" truly bring reading and writing together as a meaningful activity for lower- to intermediate-level learners in a way that few - if any - tasks do.--Verena Schäfers Sutherland, MATESOL PCC Newberb/Linfield College
With all of the prescribed five paragraph essay requirements for kids in school these days, it's refreshing to see more organic teaching methods and prompts for kids to get their creativity flowing. I especially like the "After You Read" sections after each story.--Jamie M., Writer
The focus on engaging reading and writing materials is really what students need!--David Williams, English Professor, Dhofar University
