The rest of you read your books and...see below:

Change of plans regarding book discussion:

To use time more wisely and to give us an opportunity to do something more "X-masish" in the classroom before the holidays you will...

...record a voice memo with your reflections either with your own phone/computer (röstmemo) OR in Lingoteket (ask me). You discuss/give your view on the questions I gave you. You record this , save it as a file and mail it to me.

By doing this you will be able to show that you have read and understood (or not understood) the novel. Also, this is something you can do individually as soon as you have finished the novel. You do not need to wait for everbody else. You can do this either at home or in school.

When you have sent me your voice memo and delivered your presentation, you have completed all the English tasks for 2014!
