Thursday week 4

Today we have planned the News-task. Below you can find the instructions.

We also started the reading of texts from older British literature, where everybody is going to choose one writer and one text to present to the rest of the group.

Remember to do some research, for your topic on Nature Strikes Back, on Monday when I will be away on another job.

See you next Thursday ( February 4)


News of the Week

Once a week throughout the whole term we will have presentations of news.

• Report the news from one specific spot of the English speaking world for one week.
• You are supposed to read the news in one specific newspaper for one week and then report back to the group.
• Work in pairs
• Use the links below to find “your” newspaper to report from
• Present and comment on the news. Just like a journalist you have to try to show different perspectives of the issues but you can also give your own opinion.
• Make the presentation as lively and interesting as you possibly can.
• Remember to include your source of information
