Challenge:
When we meet each other on Thursday week 39 I want you to be finished with the tasks below:
Start the first 10 minutes of the lesson by discussing the books that you are reading.
Tell each other what has happened so far in your book. What do you think about the book? Motivate your opinion.
Then work individually and write down the answer to the questions below.
Reading log 1. How far have you read? Page:
1a. How does the novel start? Choose one of the alternatives. Does it start with…..
• somebody saying something
• a description (of the environment or of a character)
• something happening
• an explanation of the background to the story
• something else
Copy the first sentence of the book.
1b. Do you think it's a good beginning? Why?
1c. Was it easy or difficult to ”get into” the book?
2. Choose a quote from the book that you think is interesting, funny, irritating,... Copy it and explain why you chose it. What happened before this quote and what happened afterward?
3. What do you think about the author's descriptions of the environment? Are they too long, too few, beautiful, realistic, etc? The environment is not just the landscape. It's also feelings,... Give examples and use quotes from the book!
3. Underline 30 words that you don't know or don't know how to spell. Translate them into your language. Write new sentences with the words in English. Example:
She was a terrible woman who frightened the children and teachers.
Frightened: skrämde

4. Characters:
Choose one or two characters to describe.
Ask yourself these questions: Who is the character I’m describing? What do I think about his or her personality and why?
Describe what the person means to the novel and how he or she has been acting up until the point you’ve read. How do those actions make you feel? Try to describe them as carefully and detailed as possible and relate them to quotations/give examples from the novel.
