Introduction and goals

We are editing and updating the copyright-free storybooks from the UNESCO FRESH (Focusing Resources on Effective School Health) campaign to be more teacher-friendly and in a format that's better distributed on the XO and other laptops. As posted, the books are formated to be printed and folded into booklets, this makes them look out of order on screen.

There are other good materials like this out there, and a number of places that have already spent time to gather links to them, and sometimes the content itself. These were first found re-posted on the Child-to-child web-site and then traced back to UNESCO.

How to help

For each book, we need to...

  1. Convert the pdf to a text-editable wikipage (one subsection per page) - please link to that page from here!
  2. Reorder the pages so that they're in sequence
  3. Edit the book
    1. Edit the text of the book's story
    2. Edit the teacher's notes and expand into a full classroom activity
  4. Create (or recover) illustrations for various pages of the stories and link to them at the top of the subsection of the corresponding page
  5. Reprint the page as an attractive PDF (automatically if possible) or another format that's made for easy reading on the XO

When all books are complete, we should make them into a content bundle.

The homepage for these stories also contains an entire set of sub-pages linked down the right-hand side that essentially represent a teacher's guide to using these stories in the classroom. This has some great information and it should be collected/reformated to package up with the stories themselves to make the bundle as classroom-ready as possible.
