March 3-10: SHORT VACATION

I am writing this post to remind you during the first week in March, including March 10th we will not have classes: no English and no American Civilization.
During this break you are supposed to finish your individual projects in English (book report) and do all the translation exercises.  The summary of every chapter as well as exercises should be written in a separate copy-book, also there you can do your translation tasks.

  While you present your book report in class, you should stick to the following format:
1) Title and author of the book: how is the title connected to the content of the book? What do you know about the author and his style of writing?
2) Theme --> here I asked you to be creative: songs, poems, posters, quotes from the book!
3) Setting: when and where is the story set?
4) Quick summary
5) Major and Minor characters: choose one and briefly characterize him/her.
6) What is the conflict in the story?
7) Resolution: how does the story end?
8) Your grading, opinion, recommendations regarding the book.

Your speech in class should be 10-12 minutes - so select just the most relevant info, be brief and to the point!
                              

Good Luck!
