World Book Day

On the International Book Day we hold a book fair in which our students can see the last titles, they can buy them at a discount and this way we encourage reading. In class we are going to carry out several activities related to the world of literature such as talking about their favourite books or writers. We could also do a brainstorming session about famous writers and what they wrote. We are open to students´ suggestions.

We could also make a video by using the moviemaker where our students can talk briefly about their favourite books and why they like them.

On the 23rd of April this year we are going to use the moviemaker and a guideline called "We Like Reading" in which we are going to make our students express their own ideas orally about their favourite books:

En célébrant cette journée dans le monde entier, l'UNESCO s'efforce de promouvoir la lecture, l'industrie éditoriale et la protection de la propriété intellectuelle à travers le droit d'auteur.

Le 23 avril 1616 disparaissaient Cervantes et Shakespeare. C’est pourquoi cette date, symbolique pour la littérature universelle, a été choisie par la Conférence générale de l’UNESCO afin de rendre un hommage mondial au livre et à ses auteurs, et encourager chacun, en particulier les plus jeunes, à découvrir le plaisir de la lecture et à respecter l’irremplaçable contribution des créateurs au progrès social et culturel.

Voici un mini-quizz spécial "livres".
