Reading Notes:Folk Stories from Southern Nigeria Part B

Finishing the final series of short stories has given me the direction I wish to take this week's planning period down. These folk tales provide a greater connection to this african nation and hopefully I am able to convey this message with my story writing for the week. Presenting a folktale that is able to convey a cultural message to an audience that is largely unfamiliar with the nation will be no easy task certainly. Now will story be longer than 500 words? No, but the minimum word count will be reached by writing five separate stories with minimum lengths of 100 words, with the maximum limited to the 200 words. This will meet the minimum requirement, while also guaranteeing the stories will come in under the maximum number allowed.
