I am a retired teacher. I work as a volunteer, along with my wife,
Angela, with a functional English Class in Worthing in Sussex.
I have started using Every Day Fiction with the class. I have posted
links to specific stories or to a menu of stories on Moodle and added a
forum for learners to write their comments.
Moodle is a magical open-source digital learning environment. Students
can work on it in class. There is time to read a story and write about
it in one lesson along
with all the other things we have to do. Using Moodle means that the
more
motivated students can also do it at home.
I made a start with the Halloween stories and they were very popular.
The students are mainly adults who don't read a great deal and some
stories are going to be easier for them than others. The fact that
stories have tags is very useful to guide them to stories they are
likely to like.
I hope some of them will get hooked on Everyday Fiction.
