CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT: Groups of 4 pupils.

TIMING: 8 sessions / 50 minutes

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS: The students have got basic computer knowledge. These children are the first time that they do a work using Internet (search and development); therefore, the Internet directions are very concrete to facilitate their work, so that they will be motivated.

ACTIVITIES:

-          ACTIVITY 1:

You have to find traditional English tales using the following Web Pages:

-          ACTIVITY 2:

Each group has to choose a traditional tale which has been found by you.

      Do you prefer “The three pigs”? Or “Cinderella”?

-          ACTIVITY 3:

OK, now you have to distribute the following roles among the member of the group:

 ·  The author: You will read the tales chosen, and you’ll represent the author the reading day.

 ·  The artists: You will be in charge of pictures and sounds (presentation of the    work).

·   Mister Pencil: You will be in charge of writing the tales choosing your classmates’                        ideas.

-          ACTIVITY 4:

Now, has each member got a role? Then, we can continue with the work. You should investigate about the author’s tale. You will produce a brief parchment about the author using information got, together with it, you’ll write the title. Be creative!

You can use the following pages to find information:

http://www.yahoo.com

Let’s modify the tales got! Add sentences; change the colours, the numbers… Change what you want! Author, let’s write, write, and write… one problem… I haven’t got ink!

Carry out the tales using different formats (slides, cards, and so on). Effort, eh?

Artists, let’s work hard!

-          ACTIVITY 7:
