These resources were part of a training session for secondary school students visiting primary schools in Ghana to teach English for a period of two weeks. The students were taught how to introduce a story by using Talk for Writing, a teaching style developed by Pie Corbett. The story of ‘The Wind and the Sun’ was used as an example during the training session with the intention that each group of students will choose a different story to adapt and teach in Ghana. The expectation was that the Ghanaian students could speak some English so a Talk for Writing approach could benefit them due to its visual and kinesthetic emphasis on storytelling. The method of Talk for Writing enables children to imitate the language they need for a particular topic orally before reading and analysing it.
