Wo Hui Reading eBooks
Project Manager: Ying Zhou
Children will create their own Mandarin books demonstrating their learning of Wo Hui Hanzi. The book can be an individual work or mini group work. The book consists of a book cover, title, text and illustration. Children may choose to use Wo Hui Hanizi to ‘snowball’ phrases and sentences to create the story content. Some children may create and write their own sentences. Illustration will be designed by and in consultation, modification by the children. Technology enables children to turn their self-made paper book into an interactive eBook. This part of the project will require children’s technology skill in recording, photography and editing. Presenting and sharing will bring children forward to talk about their creation of books. Throughout the ‘book creation’ project, Mandarin teacher will be able to assess student’s understanding and application of Wo Hui Hanzi. Having their books published online will bring entrepreneurial spirit into the project. They will be constantly stimulated to ideas of marketing their books. This fosters children’s life skills to success in the competitive 21st Century.
