The students of ESO present the reading competition for the promotion of literature
- After its success in the schools of Slovenia, the editorial Alberdania has brought to the educational centers of Euskal Herria the Joko Ona Denontzat reading contest: The students of the ESO will read “high quality books” by groups and selecting avatar will overcome the associated challenges in an online game. They also have the prizes ready.
The initiative was launched in Slovenia seven years ago by Slovenian publishers Malinc and Sodobnost. Due to its welcome, the game has been broadcast to Portugal, Northern Macedonia and Euskal Herria, and has been designed by several publishers of those countries. In Euskal Herria, it has been the editorial Alberdania that has taken the lead in the festival, and after the piloting carried out through the literary association Galtzagorri, they have opened the doors to everyone who wants to participate.
The project consists of an online game based on the book read on paper. Teenagers will have to make groups of three, choose an avatar to play or a character and face the challenges they face. The teachers will have at their disposal a large number of materials to work the project and they will know the books (all related to the juvenile literature, from Alberdania), but they will not let the participants know the titles of the books, as they will have to guess them as they carry out the exercises. In addition, participants will have to invent books, reflect on what they have read, exchange creations, etc.
The game was developed on the Moodle platform, usual in teaching, and the group with the most points will take a tour to Irrisarri Land. The first three groups will also receive literary prizes.
"The idea is to break the dichotomy of paper vs. screen and take advantage of screens to promote reading"
“The idea is to break the paper vs. screen dichotomy and take advantage of screens to foster reading,” explains Oier Etxebeste to ARGIA from Alberdania. These are not delicate objectives: to increase the reading capacity, to increase the uptake of literature, to improve digital literacy, to promote reflection on good and bad practices in group learning, or to promote quality European literary works, minority and less well-known literature among young people.
