How do you make the mini-books? IT COULDNT BE
EASIER!
A video demonstration clip can be found on
kegscommunity.org.uk/languages/ Then click on
the link World Mini Books

To make the mini-books you need 1 sheet of A4
paper Coloured pens Imagination! The books can
be on any theme from basic numbers to the
geography of France, boy bands in Germany, a day
in the life of an alien or a story about Kitty in
Japan. It is best if students choose a topic
related to the unit they are currently learning
about or have covered previously but they can
present the language as imaginatively as they
wish. The target audience for the books is other
student readers. Some students like to create
lift-the-flap books. Students plan the text of
their book in rough and then create the books in
lesson time and share with their class and other
students in the school.
The project works best when as many students as
possible take part. The sharing of ideas
inspires creativity and the exchange of books
generates enthusiasm for reading. It takes about
2-4 hours to make the books time to share and
enjoy them.
