So as to introduce English literature and creative writing in the classroom, the English teachers came up with an idea which revolved around flash fiction (a fictional story of extreme brevity that still offers characters and plot development, hinting a larger story). That was how Turning Titles into Tales began. The students in 1ºBacharelato were given a list of selected works by authors of all times. Then, they were asked to write a micro-story using 3 to 5 titles from the list and to design a booklet to present their work. Here you have the outcome...
