READERS FACTORY
What if the characters of the mysterious game “Fábrica de Leitores” ran away from the board looking for players in the real world? And if they invited these players
to create new stories that bring the game world to life?
Readers Factory is an immersive education experience designed for the first years of elementary school, seeking to encourage the process of literacy and literacy through fantasy. was developed based on the creative teaching approach developed by Plateô Cultural called "Aventuras de Aprendizagem" in which immersive theater, art and new technologies intertwine with educational goals and social impact. Through this methodology, the student is involved in a fictional world, where he is the protagonist and where he recognizes his creative potential while advancing in his educational trajectory.
O The teacher of the participating class receives a literature book to work on during the week before the activity. The day before the experience, he resumes the activity of the book, however, to his surprise, he realizes that new elements have appeared in the story - as if it had been invaded by new and strange characters to the book's narrative . On the last page of the book there is a mysterious letter, with the request for help from these “invading characters”:
“We are inhabitants of the game “Fábrica de Leitores” and we need to save our kingdom which, because it has never been played, is disappearing! The game is in some lost location in the school. We've found some clues to your location and are sending them to you. We need your help, but first you need to find us…"
The class finds the board through a game of treasure hunting and the experience ends without the teacher allowing them to open the box, leaving a mystery in the air.
The next day, upon returning to school, they find their classroom transformed, the game box open with a huge board arranged on the living room floor. The characters then appear and tell where they came from, and what their main mission is: playing the game and creating new stories that will bring the world of Fábrica de Leitores to life. Divided into four groups, they start the game and each group creates a new story, guided by the challenges proposed by the board game and using the history book worked on the previous week as a starting point. Before returning to the Readers Factory, the characters present the class with a version of the board game: “Now that we have new players in the real world, we can happily return to our world: It will not disappear anymore!_cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Keep reading new books and playing The Readers Factory: “Everything you craft in the game will come to exist in our world!”
At the end of the game, each group tells the story they created, which is recorded by the Platô team and included on the experience's website.
