Turn your students into first time authors!
You want your students to take risks, increase their
fluency, perfect their written skills and still remain
confident? This session will show you how to help your
students write a book or ebook, using random pictures.
Your students will love the freedom to incorporate their
creativity with their language skills. Participants will be
given lesson plans and will be able to adapt this lesson to
