Short Stories by Australian teenagers about being a young adult in today’s society. 

Paper Clips is a compelling collection of 28 original short stories written by students from all across Australia, reflecting on their experiences of being a teenager in Australia today. 

Suitable for lower and middle secondary students of English, these lesson-sized stories cover a range of themes and styles that introduce students to writing techniques and the skills of critical literacy. 

  • Seven themed sections each contain four stories written by young Australian authors for an audience of their peers. These stories provide a glimpse of the trials, tribulations, fears and accomplishments that concern teenagers today. 
  • Research and Discussion questions get students talking about what they have read and encourage students to build on what they have learned by doing further research. 
  • Writing and Creating activities guide and encourage students to explore literary techniques and to think about storytelling and writing skills to create their own unique stories.

"The stories are short, engaging and very readable"

"An excellent collection which will assist teachers to incorporate Asian and human rights perspectives into the English classroom. An added bonus is that 15% of net sales will be donated to a girls' school in Afganistan"
