writers 4A Forum 12:
"Will you eat?", "What adjective or not?"
www.chicosyescritores.org page, designed one of the greatest experts in literacy, Emilia Ferreiro managed to interact more than 11,000 kids who write in English. Ruben A.

"There once was a former muuuuuuuuuuuy school. The kids did not like at all. One day I climbed the stairs together and stepped on so hard that he turned around and they fell behind. It turned out again to the past when the school was new. They found that the ladder was magical and could travel in time. End Bye. Until another time. "
Santiago Garcia (6), Esquel, one of the 2,407 Argentines who have published a text in www.chicosyescritores.org , a website designed by psychologist and developed Emilia Ferreiro between the Economic Culture Fund and the National Autonomous University of Mexico. In this free public education forum, interact with more than 11 000 children 4 to 12 years who write in English, mainly from Latin America and Spain. According Kriscautzky Marina, one of the academic coordinator, "this experience shows" that children can read and write when it makes sense to do so, they like to communicate in writing when someone responds taking seriously what they have to say. "
This applies at least the kids in Argentina. Account Kriscautzky from Mexico City that these "are the second nationality in number of users, but in percentage are those most published. " In late February 2007, young Internet users had been published 523 albicelestes own texts and had recommended 376 books to their peers. Is it too much or too little? At that time, the nearly 5 million Mexicans registered 613 texts had been drafted and had recommended 440 books. Come hither that you have taken the measure to the computer.
Anyway, rather than the affinity for technology-something generation, what is striking is that they have recommended 376 different books. Was not only read Harry Potter? Not really. For Rivadero Sofia Cordoba (8), Reading is a nice "Ruperto detective" by Roy Berocay. According to Paula Alvarez (10), Buenos Aires, "Lorca for children" is very interesting because it allows "write or draw something from a poem on the back pages." And Oriana Arriola (13), Villa La Angostura, "Fallen off the map", María Inés Falconi (13), because the players liked the same grade as her: 7 º. That is, the kids have a variety of tastes and love to share.
And if your literary tastes are varied, not least their interests are different when typed. Thus, the Cordoba Guadalupe Diaz (12) wrote a variation on the story of the frog and the princess, where he lives on missions and compete against the princess Fito Paez Glucutucu. For its part, Martina Lopez Yablon (13), Buenos Aires, invented "insonante poetry", a genre where it matters less if it is consonant rhyme or alliteration and assonance to form "the rush of the breeze." Others, like the locals also, Emanuel Gamaleri (13), Aime Daiana Scura (12) and Nicole Vispo (12) vocalized their feelings about lost childhood, first love, death, school or separated parents. Prose, poetry, story, diary or autobiography, who cares, what matters is who write frequency.
Of course, even better news is that they are just a sample of the 2,407 fellow Argentines are listed. To Kriscautzky, after four years of the project's conclusion is clear: "Children think about writing, it raises questions about how it works and how to interact socially through it." The data bear this out: chicosyescritores.org receives approximately 4,700 hits per month. In other words, adults should take more seriously what kids have to say, especially in writing.

As a workshop
Since 2002, the team becomes chicosyescritores.org actually a postulate of its coordinator, Emilia Ferreiro, PhD in Psychology, a student of Jean Piaget and modernization of literacy, "promoting intellectual respect for the child. Through the website, these teachers work written texts children as if they attend a writing workshop. Marina Kriscautzky sums up the methodology of the corrections: "We put ourselves in the author's point of view, age and knowledge on writing sample, on that basis decide what errors are able to see the author in his text: no we ask the same thing a child of 7 years to a 13, but not that to 10. If the text needs to change, we wrote the author to explain what the main problem and giving ideas for improvement. If not, do a commentary accompanying the text and publish it. "
