So this is the reading plan for the second term book. On the following dates you have to bring prepared the chapters below. The idea is to hold then Literary Circles with the Language assistant (if we have one) and me.
Jan 22: prologue and chapters 1 to 4.
Feb 5: ch. 5 to 7
Feb 19: ch 8 to the end.
(the book exam will be on Feb 22).
What is a Literary Circle? It is a discussion about the chapters assigned, based on three different aspects:
-Vocabulary: Pick 5 words (difficult ones please) and explain the meaning of them in English.
-A summary of the events happening in the story.
-Your opinion about the topics discussed.
Your participation will be taken into account for your speaking mark.
I think this activity is a much better way to deal with a book than what we have done in the first term with The Prisoner of Zenda (written quizzes and that´s all) but it´s essential that you prepare previously the chapters assigned for that Literary Circle because if not it won´t work!
