PRESENTATION
READING IS THE PRIMARY AND ESSENTIAL CONDITION FOR CITIZENSHIP PRACTICE. THE LITERARY TEXTS ARE THE ENTRY FOR
THE READING WORLD. AS WE LIVE IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD, WHY NOT INSERT STUDENTS INTO THE GLOBAL LANGUAGE
READING WORLD? THIS WAS THE WORK WE’VE DEVELOPED IN ENGLISH CLASSES. STUDENTS READ AND LISTENED TO ENGLISH
STORIES IN ORDER TO EXPAND THEIR LINGUISTIC REPERTOIRE AND IMPROVE THE LANGUAGE USE IN COMMUNICATIVE
SITUATIONS.
THIS YEAR, THE YOUNG WRITER PROJECT HAD ITS PART IN ENGLISH THAT PROVIDED AN ENRICHMENT OF STUDENTS’
PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIENCES. THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF KNOWING AUTHORS, BOOKS AND ILLUSTRATORS FROM OTHER
COUNTRIES, ALL IN THE SAME GENRE STUDIED IN THE PORTUGUESE CURRICULUM, THE CUMULATIVE TALES. RESEARCHES HAS
PROVEN CHILDREN LEARN BEST THROUGH REPETITION, AS IT ESTABLISHES NEURAL CONNECTIONS. NEURAL PASSAGEWAYS IN
THEIR BRAINS BECOME HIGHWAYS FOR LEARNING. CHILDREN THRIVE ON THE REPETITION OF PATTERNS, SOUNDS AND
EXPERIENCES. THE PROJECT WE DEVELOPED WITH YEAR 1 WAS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING BOOKS WE READ WITH THE
STUDENTS: “PANDA BEAR, PANDA BEAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE?” AND “POLAR BEAR, POLAR BEAR, WHAT DO YOU HEAR?”
THEY SIMPLY LOVED THE STORIES AND WE READ THEM MANY TIMES. EVERY TIME I READ THE STORY THEY TRIED TO PREVIEW
THE FOLLOWING ANIMAL BY MEMORY. WHEN WE STARTED WRITING THEIR STORY, THEY DECIDED TO CHANGE THE
CHARACTERS. INSTEAD OF ANIMALS, THEY WOULD BE THE CHARACTERS! THEY SET A LIST OF ROUTINE ACTIVITIES THAT COULD
BE DONE BY THEM IN THE STORY AND EACH ONE COULD SEE EACH OTHER DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WE HAD LOTS OF
FUN PRODUCING THIS BOOK AND THE RESULT COULDN’T BE BETTER! WE INVITE YOU NOW TO SEE WHAT THEY SAW, TO FEEL
WHAT THEY FELT AND TO ENJOY AS MUCH AS WE DID!
