I added a new story to the "Stories for Beginning Learners" folder.  This one is called "Verus Amor" and is about a relationship gone bad - giving presents labeled for someone else.  It was written to practice the genitive case - particularly the possessive.  My seventh graders thought it was pretty funny.  Some of them tried to skim ahead so that they could see how it turned out, which is always a good sign.  The following day we acted out a simpler version of the story.  I orally narrated it and students will take turns playing the roles and adding sound effects to the story.   That was a hit and the students were clearly following along.   Here is the link to the folder.   The same link can be found on the tab, "Stories Not in Your Textbook."
