<p>This graduation project proposes cooperative writing in the L2 classrooms as an essential source for developing fourth graders students’ writing skills through the creation of a story and a mini book. Working cooperatively is a highly beneficial opportunity for students as it enhances the development of interpersonal skills. Moreover, in the case of children, cooperative work directly tackles their social nature, and fosters their desire to know the people around them and the world they live in. Additionally, writing stories is an excellent way in which they can exploit their endless creativity. This pedagogical proposal is a support for some of the objectives related to writing skills of the Chilean optional English curriculum for fourth graders, which aim at promoting this productive skill. The topic of the workshop is food, and it was selected by fourth graders themselves on a survey carried out in the students’ mother tongue, and the activities combine the theoretical framework of this project</p>
