Srini,

This is Snehil here; I use snowy as a nickname for blogging :)
Here are my initial comments
It's a good way to start. I have gone through around 30 stories from Akbar Birbak site and have found them quite interesting. I will further work on evolving them into the format you have suggested.
I have also found a very good website for teaching aids. It can be accessed at:
http://www.teach-nology.com/

In particular the story building worksheets can be found at:
http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/language_arts/story/

I will be collating the concerned material and mailing across.

I think we can also divide the stories into two categories, as to one for the 3,4 std kids and other for the 5-7 std kids based on the complexity.

We can also include stories like the 'Golden Goose', the 'Honest Wood Cutter and the Three Axes' stories for the 3,4 std kids, which could be very easy for them to understand and remember.

As for the story building worksheets, they could be used for the 5-7 std kids to improve their creativity. We could give them a sheet as an assignment and ask them to complete it by next week at the end of our story-telling session (Though not sure how many would actually take it up seriously).

I read about Tenali Ramakrishna's childhood and how he became King Krishnadevaraya's favorite jesters. He did not go to school since he was very poor. He used to stand near the wall of a school to learn something from the class inside. But was caught and warned one day. All his knowledge was because of Kali's blessing. He meditated so vigorously that ma Kali was pleased and she gave him all the knowledge of vedas. How should we put this point to the students? Should we avoid this? Or state it plainly so that the truth is not hidden and at the same time we are not sounding religious.

I remember that I had raised this point one day. But don’t remember to have got a satisfactory answer.
