23th April is the World Book Day,  so I delivered e books to my students and read other students endings curiously.

Our e-book is ready `What if I were Charles Dickens` Ioana Ciripoiu/ Podenii noi Secondary School

 Great Expectations was the first book that my students read in English. They were hard working and did this task in time. During this activity my students developed their reading and speaking skills. They talked about what they liked, we analysed the plot and the characters in the classroom. They took part actively in this project and used English more than used to. Thanks to this project my students like English language more and became for interested in studying it. 

In April their task was to use their imagination to write a different ending for the book they read. They did an excellent job and, as a result, we have our e-book ready.

Writing endings for our e-book Ioana Ciripoiu/ Podenii Noi Secondary School

After reading the novel, the students were involved in a creative activity. They were asked to imagine another ending for the book they read. So, they became writers for this famous book. They entered Pip and Estella's magical world and took them in exciting journeys. 

We started reading the masterpiece Great Expectations

Our e-book, "What if I were Charles Dickens" is published

In March our students read the worldwide classic Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. After they finished the novel at the end of the March, they started to think about the ending of the book. Because one of their most important task is to write their own ending for the book in April.

 The aim of this activity is to motivate students to improve their use of English language through reading a worldwide classic.

 And also we aim at encouraging the students to write in English, developing their imagination and creativity.

All of our students were responsible for the same task: creating an end of their own for Great Expectations. After they sent us their endings, we gathered them in one place and created an e-book as a collaborative product.

Some volunteer students designed covers for the e-book by using web 2.0 tool Canva. We took a poll to choose the best cover with Google Forms. Finally we formed the e-book on Flipsnack.

Now, the main activity of April, our e-book is ready for everybody to read what came out of the fresh and limitless minds of our students:
