STORYTELLING AND DRAMA IN ENGLISH: RESOURCE

I chose this website, because you have many different stories. There are stories that can be played on the page, others to be read while you see the pictures of this. Also I liked it because with this webpage the teacher or the students themselves may select a Word and see how it pronounced.
For all this I think it would be a good resource to use in the classroom.
