How Bookr Works in Classroom

     Bookr is a good stage to share some stories or transform class materials into a simple book in teaching. If I use it in my classroom, I would choose to treat it as a tool to teach writing. At first, I can use it to present a model with writing a story. Combining with pictures to illustrate the story, students will not get bored easily in class. Then, I will ask students to write a story by themselves with using Bookr. I would ask them to begin with writing a short story, then increase the length of story in the following class. Because Bookr allows people to add slides as they wish, it is really convenient for teacher to design how long the story should be for each week. Through writing the story, students practice their writing skills and also get more used to grammar rules in target language. Except from individual work, I would group students into small groups and each group needs to accomplish a medium-length story. During the group-working, students have to work cooperatively and will learn through discussing with group members, especially in revision. Sometimes one student may be better at grammar rules, s/he will become the role like teacher who clarifies others' doubts. When deciding the topic of story, students who is creative will transform into another one that lead the group. Through working and helping each other, the learning of whole group of students will be improved.
