LIBRARY PROYECT: "Cinema library"


Our proposal of a library project is called “cinema library” because the library will be contextualize as a cinema. We have decided to do that because children usually watch movies in the cinema and for them it is a very enjoyable experience. Therefore, we are trying to get reading close to them through things of their daily life. We want them to understand that when they read, they are creating a movie in their minds as when they go to the cinema.

The library is going to be placed in a corner of the classroom in order to create a comfortable place where children can read, choose books and do activities.


To develop our project we are going to need: the materials, a cheaper budget, how we are going to use the library, the assessment and the motivation.

MATERIALS AND BUDGET

-   Books: each child has to bring between 3 and 5 English book, so if there are around 25 students we will have 60 books for free =

 total                                             80€

HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE THE LIBRARY?

First, children have to write the name of each book they have brought in a different paper, wrinkle them creating a pop and throw their pops in the pop-corn.Then, they have to stick in the cover´s back a sheet as the one is presented below and organize the books in alphabetical order in the bookshelf.

 



The first time they have to choose a book, they have to pick up a pop of the pop-corn. But, the following times they can read the post-it of the chart we have also created and chose the book they want.

During the term they are going to develop 3 activities:

1.       DRAWING

Children have to draw a picture of the best part of the book they have read. Then, these pictures will be stuck in the walls around the library cinema.

The main aim of this activity is:
·         To know if they have understood the main idea of the book.

2.       ALTERNATIVE ENDING

Each child has to create an alternative ending of the book that he /she has liked the most.

The aims of this activity are:
·         To check if they have understood the story because the need to know about the characters and the actions that happen during the story to create an ending for it.
·         To motivate children´s creativity.

3.       REPRESENTATION

The winner ending will be represented the 23th of April because is the Books Day.

The main aim of this activity is:
·         To tell a story using kinaesthetic because they have to use body language and move around the space.

ASSESSMENT

To assess children we are going to create a chart with two columns in the vertical one will be the children´s names and in the horizontal one will be the books that they have read. 


In each space children have to stick a post-it which contains the title of the book, the genre, the characters and a summary. In this way, we will know if they are able to take out the main information and if they have understood the book. To create this post-it, we will give them scaffolding and an example as modelling.

REWARDS

We are going to give them rewards in order to motivate students to read, use their creativity and be organized.

We will give two Oscars.

·    Best book ever: it is going to be given to the book that children have liked the most and we will know it because of the happy faces that children have to paint.

·     Best end of a story: it is going to be given to the best alternative ending.

Both of them will be located in the bookshelf, they are going to be group prizes.





We will also give two medals:

·    The book “hunter”: it is going to be given to the child that more has read books.

·    The most organize student: it is going to be given to the student that has maintain the bookshel clean and organized the books in alphabetical order.
