Year 10 Elective Japanese storybooks

Recently, year 10 Japanese made digital children’s storybooks inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They had to use the language structures they have learnt to make a fun book in both Japanese and English with characters they created themselves.

The aim of this task was to create an enjoyable storybook for children in Japan and Australia. 

This task was unique as it allowed students to get creative during online school and was a new and different experience compared to usual activities. 

The storybooks were made in Google Slides and turned into audio books with each student making voice recordings.

Here are some examples and comments from students:

“I really enjoyed making this storybook. Although it was a bit of a challenge, it was a new and exciting task. It was also a clever way of combining fun, creativity and language skills revision into one task.”

- Catriona Forneste

“This task challenged my creativity and made me revisit structures that were buried in my brain and forgotten. I think many of us took the liberty to take more care in making it look visually appealing. Definitely recommend this task for future years to revise words and grammar points.”

- Ferdinand Cordoba
