I have been researching and writing for Storytelling
Magazine for 15 years and have amassed a large number of stories from many
cultures. I thought I would take on a new project and organize the stories by
country.
My hope is that this will make it easier for you to find new and unique tales to add to your repertoire, and in the process we will learn more about our global neighbors. I would be most grateful if you would leave a comment to let me know if you find this useful. Let the fun begin with the country of Turkey!

“Teaching about Turkey in the classroom can be an enriching
experience for teachers and students alike. However, Turkey related lesson
plans are not numerous and even more difficult to locate. TCF offers teachers a compilation of lesson
plans developed by American educators… on a number of subjects for middle and
high school students… cover a variety of subjects and grade levels from
elementary through high school. Lesson plans can be searched according to
keywords, grade levels and authors.”
