About the project
This project aims that students improve their art,technology skills while they reach the beauty of reading.Also they will improve English language skills(reading,speaking,listening and writing)We choose a common English story or novel book and divide it into a few parts.As pre-reading activities they will research about the author and design their own book cover.All pupils read the parts of the book at the same period.We sometimes have face to face reading sessions at different places .After reading each part,pupils interpret them by drawing pictures,performing small sketches and exchange ideas on forum section or chatroom.We create online quizzes,games and voting pools via web2 tools.Before reading last part,students write their own end for the book.As final products, we summarize the book and record a common video.We create an e-book that includes students’drawings and book summary.We prepare a common virtual theatre play consisting of students’ sketches.
