anecdote competition
We'd like to hear your teaching anecdotes so that we can publish stories about what happens in classrooms around the world. We're looking for:

• Funny stories from the classroom

• Horror stories from the classroom

• Disaster stories from the classroom. Your first day as a teacher?

All winners will receive a bag of Macmillan products. This will vary but will always include methodology titles, readers and much more. Each month, one special prize will include a copy of the new Macmillan English Dictionary with CD.
