SECTION A – PROJECT DESCRIPTION

  This project aims to increase reading of significant titles and authors from the European (and not only) literature. It is well known that nowadays the young people spend less time reading a good book. We want to make them read for pleasure. That's why we'll combine
reading with other activities. Finally, we'll have a gallery of valuable titles and writers and we'll arise the children's curiosity towards reading.

We make a website in which each participant (group of students and their teachers) will bring their own contribution by sendind materials in connection with what they recommend for reading. More partners may take part every year to this project and the teachers' plan of making children read will be fulfilled. The project may involve more teachers from the same school, and the students may work in groups for the materials.

The evaluation of the project will be done with by questions about the books.

The participants will receive a diploma. There also will be some contests: the best page, the best drawing/poster/story

The steps you should follow are:

• Choose a representative writer from the universal literature
• Pick a title, and recommend it to the students to read .Tell them how much time they havein order to read it
• Discuss the book with the children, make them understant what they have read
• You may divide the class into more groups, or work with the whole class at the same time (but in this case it will be more difficult and take longer time). You may work on the same book with them all
• Make a plan what each group will deal with
• Send in the results of your work in time

 
 All the contributions will be sent over the inernet. Each school will send:

• The writer and the title of the book they deal with, a few things about the writer's biography, literary activity, other books written by him (not more than 200) words
• Five of the students' opinions abot the book (not more than 200 words each)

• 1 drawing inspired by the book or 1 poster + a sentence, to advise other children to read it, to say why that book is worth reading
• 2 photos taken during a play/drama the students played , inspired by the book
• A story created by the pupils after having read the book, using their imagination
• Photos taken during the activities
• 5 questions (and the answes) about that book, and other 5 questions about other titles of the same writer
• Any other materials to make the own page more attractive

Everything must be simple, easy anf fun, otherwise our aim will not be fulfilled. It shouldn't be something boring, tiring. Try to k eep on the schedule

All the writen parts will be in English (to find a universal way to communicate). The rest of the activities may be performed in the native language (reading, talking, drama etc).
