World Mini-Book Making Project 2009 TARGET 100,000 mini-books world wide
Please help us to engage students world wide in making mini-books in a foreign language. • Project Objectives: • To motivate students to read more • Students work together to celebrate world languages and language learning • Students share their work world wide
The total number of books made will be announced on 26th September 2009 European Day of World Languages
How do you make the mini-books? IT COULDN’T BE EASIER! A video demonstration clip can be found on: kegscommunity.org.uk/languages/ Then click on the link: World Mini Books
To make the mini-books you need: 1 sheet of A4 paper Coloured pens Imagination! The books can be on any theme from basic numbers to the geography of France, boy bands in Germany, a day in the life of an alien or a story about Kitty in Japan. It is best if students choose a topic related to the unit they are currently learning about or have covered previously but they can present the language as imaginatively as they wish. The target audience for the books is other student readers. Some students like to create lift-the-flap books. Students plan the text of their book in rough and then create the books in lesson time and share with their class and other students in the school. The project works best when as many students as possible take part. The sharing of ideas inspires creativity and the exchange of books generates enthusiasm for reading. It takes about 2-4 hours to make the books + time to share and enjoy them.
MINI BOOKS CAN BE MADE BETWEEN NOW AND SEPTEMBER 2009 • When your students have made the books please e-mail: • worldminibooks@kegs.org.uk • Please give the following information: • Name and address of your school • Age range of students involved • Number of mini-books made • Languages used to make mini-books • If possible please send some photographs of the books and/or short video clips showing the picture books and including a reading of the text. These will be uploaded onto the world mini-books section of our school website for everyone to read, share and enjoy! • Alternatively, send a website address that gives access to your mini-books.
