Small and Big Moon

Summary

Project “Small and Big Moon” is based on distance reading in primary school. All the materials can be found at this address but they are all in Slovene language http://www2.arnes.si/~osngso3s/luna/.

With this project we wanted to encourage reading and literate education among young pupils in primary school in Slovenia. Through specially chosen book, with the use of  ICT (web based tools and activities), monitoring and guided by teachers and mentors, students (at six schools in Slovenia) experienced and exchanged their opinions about the mentioned book (descriptions, essays, illustrations, poems, interactive exercises, chats in real time), prepared written and drawn products, related to the book. Project objectives were to get literary-aesthetic experience of a text (book), to motivate students to read, to enrich vocabulary and to use their own imagination while creating their own essays with the help of different media and the use of ICT. Last but not least we wanted and succeeded to meet the author of the book in live at the end of the project.
