PINKY PROMISE - We have written a short story alltogether! ( Ayvacık Anatolian High School, Türkiye)

  After reading Jessica Sills' "Promise" poem, we began writing a short story about friendship. Each paragraph was continued by another partner school, following what the previous partner school and students had written. This was a very interesting experience for us. In our short story, we also made drawings for the sections we wrote ourselves. When everything was completed, Ayvacık Anatolian High School student, İlayda, turned our short story into an ebook. We converted our short story into an ebook on both the StoryJumper and Book Creator platforms to reach more readers because we wanted to share it with a wider audience. Here are the ebook links: Pinky Promise on Book Creator Pinky Promise on StoryJumper
