AWESOME WRITERS

About the Project

Reading book is a really important habit and it must be acquired at early ages. What can we do for our students to acquire this important habit. Students like tasks that they can be creative,express their feelings and opinions. I strongly guess that our students haven't created their own books as a writer up to now.I think writing his/her own book sounds great and exciting for all students. Our students are going to write a storybook with web 2.0 tool "storybird". Then they are going to print them and make storybooks.Every student is going to write a storybook.At the end of the project books are going to be exhibited.As a final work a common storybook is going to be written by all of the partner students.
