What can an Avatar do in an English Classroom?

Avatars are a great way of dealing with different topics!

First of all, Avatars can help children to learn the different parts of the body or, more precisely, the different parts that make up our heads (hair, eyes, nose, etc.). Since, in some pages, they can select each part of the Avatar they want to create; they are incorporating vocabulary without even noticing it and without need to translate because, in each tab, they will see pictures of what they are selecting (the name of the tab). For example, if they click on the tab "eyes," they'll see images of different types of eyes!

Secondly, you can use Avatars in order to create characters for a story. For instance, children can create different Avatars and give them to a mate, so he or she has to write a story with his or her mate's Avatar as its main character.

So, here goes my Avatar…
