Wednesday Dec 14 - How to work with book reading

Our task today is to construct a detailed concept on how to work with our books before, while and after reading.

1. Brainstorm x 3; ways to work with books before you start reading/during the initial phase, while you read them, and when you've finished reading.

2. Construct your own plan on how to work with your book. More or less anything goes, but you need to OK it with me before you start using your concept. Feel free to mix different presentation methods at will. I need your plan in writing, emailed to me.

3. Time left? Read book!

Friday Dec 9 - This and that

1. Do and/or check results of Quote exercise quiz (the quiz itself can be found on FC). In other words, if you haven't taken the quiz yet, which you should have, you need to do that. Then it's time to check your answers. I'll post them on FC during Friday's lesson.

2. Evaluate the Shakespeare exercise (play + presentation) we just did. Feedback in any form is what I'm looking for, and you'll find examples on what to include below:

- Difficulty level

- Amount of time for you to work with exercise

- End products (oral presentation + written translation)

- What you learned

- Working in groups

- Tools you used

- Feedback given to you

There are of course other things you could write about, so don't let this list of items limit you.

3. Find and start reading a book. Classic English literature is what we're going to work with here. AT LEAST make sure to decide on a book. Also think about what kind of end product you'd like to do. If there's time, we'll do a brainstorming session in class.
