I love the idea that Almudena has!

As you say, it is a great idea to show the lives of people who can be real (not princesses locked in a high tower) as characters in a story or short story. Today, you’ve seen at the seminar of the subject, even yourself can become a main character in any story you want to invent! You just need to select certain infromacion to give life and form the character,a history and a little fairy dust …. … oh no that’s in Peter Pan! (Only joking!)

I think it’s a great idea and as you indicate is a good way to teach our children good habits, whether for sport, food, values, etc; not always the protagonist should has to fight a dragon!
It may be more realistic, if the character becomes more real and close to them in order to help our students to foster these ideas!

And answering Susana, I totally agree with your idea … we’ll see next Tuesday!

Finally I think like her, I think it would be more motivating for students to show the author themselves some of their work … do not you think so?

I could not have imagined an initiative like that before reading it. It is wonderful to see how a recognised gymnast, who probably is one of the most admired women because of her achievements, has shared with little boys and girls her experiences all along her life. I have not already read her book, but I am sure see will give a lot of motivation for children.
I want to suggest something. When I read your post and reflected about it and idea came to my mind. You talk about creating books related with very recognised people. I love this idea. But what about creating their owned stories? What I want to say is that children can have the book of Almudena Cid as a model in order to imagine their own achievements when they grow up. For example, a child who loves playing football probably will want to play in very important teams. By this way we are encouraging our students to imagine, to create, and to read their classroom’s books.
Finally, regarding what you said about authors visiting the school, why not inviting them once we have carried out the previous activity? Children could feel very proud of their work if a person that they admired read their own stories, don’t you think so?
