Today I want to comment what ma mates did, latest weeks we have seen several presentations, made by all of you, about different english authors that wrote different stories for little children. You made great presentations to introduce your different authors and each works and contributions.
Most of the presented authors work not only in telling stories the also produce they books and draw them and they created very good books, most of the books where attractive for the children because the story was closer to the children, and others have a moral inside, which could help readers to solve problems and learnt from them. This is the reason why some of these books are so famous and so well sold. Also we don’t have to forget that the drawings are so important because if the book has good drawings and it is related with the story it’s going to be easier for the children to read the book.
I didn’t know most of the authors but some others I recognised because of its famous books as Roald Dhal wit Matilda and Charlie and the chocolate factory, and other authors of whom I see the films based on their books as E. B. White with Stuart little, or even the series as in the case of Marc Brown with Arthur, and many others. Knowing which were the motivations of the authors to write those incredible stories was interesting besides.
I decided to talked about this because in a no longer future we will have the task of encourage our children to read and it’s not going to be easier decide which book is going to be better for them and which on is going to be more interested for them so probably we will wake up something inside us that inspire us to create a book for our students, who knows…
Here I let you a website in which you could find different tools to create books for our future students or even to make them create their own stories, moreover it is also explained what every tool it’s for.
This other website is a blog in which its author shows 5 website that create books with video, that’s seems fantastic to create personalized books.
This type of website are a good resource to create books and help our students develop their imagination and their creativity, I hope you like this post and you find it useful. I want to know your opinion. Thanks for reading.
Hi Paula! It happened the same to me. When all of you were giving us such relevant information about this group of authors I was really amazed because I felt that some of them had been part of my childhood. For example, I loved Arthur when I was a child but I never stopped to think about the great effort and the huge talent of Marc Brown to write this children’s story.
I also like your idea of creating books. However I can find more advantages if we ask our students to create their own books. While creating our classroom library there were some of us who remembered creating our books when we were in the school. I really think it is a very good activity in order to encourage our student to read. They will write interesting stories thinking as a child, they will feel as great authors and they will want to read their classmates’ books.
And finally, I have to say that those resources that you provide in your post sound really good. Nowadays it is very important to introduce children in the world of the new technologies. So why do not we ask them to create a book online?
