READING FORUM WITH ICT

Introduction

Wanting to use new tools and give a special touch to reading, with the present project it is intended that students have been able to enjoy and share their literary tastes while using different ICT tools.

The project consists of the students choosing a small text, fragment of a book, poetry, etc. and record a Podcast with the content to share it later with the rest of the classmates through the project website with soundcloud

The activity will be carried out throughout the school year but in each quarter a theme will be worked on, as you can see in the activities section of this document.

Every Monday at the language hour will be devoted to the reading workshop along with this project. In that lesson time, 3 students will record and share, as I have explained before, a podcast with the text they have chosen based on the theme and, in addition, they will explain to their classmates because they have chosen that author and text. While these three students are making their podcast, the rest of the class should choose their text and prepare a corresponding presentation about it. Once shared, the rest of the classmates should listen to each podcast and create their own in which they can express their opinion about the text, the author, recommend reading a text with a similar theme, etc.

Objectives

Through this project, the following objectives are to be achieved:

• Develop in the students strategies to read with fluency, intonation and understanding appropriate to the intention of the text.
• Understand different types of texts adapted to your age.
• Use reading as a means to expand vocabulary and use spelling correctly.
• Appreciate the value of literary texts and use reading as a source of enjoyment and information, as well as personal enrichment.
• Use the center and classroom libraries for the selection of books, texts and poetry.
• Give the opinion on the selected texts and podcast made by colleagues.
• Manage ICT through Podcast and websites.

Competences

Reading is present in the development not only of the Competence in Linguistic Communication but also in the development of the rest of the competences established by the curriculum. In this project said development of each competition will be carried out in the following way:

• Competence in linguistic communication. Use of reading as an instrument to approach the knowledge of the Spanish language and literature, complemented by knowledge and use of the library and recognizing the rules by which it is governed.
