METHODOLOGY

The activity may be done in the computer room individually or in pairs. It can also be done in the classroom. To develop this microteaching we are going to use the Storymaker site from the British Council web side which offers the students the possibility of creating their own story. They are also going to work with blogger as a basic tool of communication and expression.

Pre-activity:  In order to introduce the topic, first the teacher will explain children how to create their own story with Storymaker site from the British Council web page. The teacher will use a projector to show them how to do it correctly.

Activity 1: In this activity each children will create their own story with Storymaker site from the British Council web page. The Story Maker makes three different types of story: fairy stories, horror stories and science-fiction. So, the students will choose their favourite type of story and will follow the instruction of the web. This is a reading activity to be done individually in the computer room.

Activity 2: Once the students have created their own stories, they will post it in their personal blogger. The teacher will solve the student’s doubts or problems. This is a reading activity.
