April Week 3

In honor of World Book Day (April 23rd) we talked a lot about reading, books, and authors.  It was great to hear your thoughts and recommendations about your favorite and most hated books.

For listening, try an easy activity about children's books.  More advanced learners may enjoy episodes about Books That Changed the World or JK Rowling's talk aobut Failure or a short story called Keesh by Jack London.

For writing you could write a review of a book you've recently read or explain why you think reading is important.  Many of you are teachers or parents -- what can we do to encourage our kids or students to grow up to be avid readers?  Or, for those who are inspiring writers, try writing a short story of your own in English!

And as for reading, obviously the best would be to read some short stories in English.  This site and the VOA sitehas many options, but you may like "The No Talent Kid" by Kurt Vonnegut or "Luck" by Mark Twain (with mp3).  For easier short stories, check out Short Stories for Intermediate Learners.  Or you may like reading about banned books in different countries.

Don't forget that next Tuesday (May 1st) is a national holiday and there isn't class, but Monday is a normal work day for me.  If you need to change your schedule or make up lost classes, please get in touch, I am happy to accomodate whenever possible.Best,Kelly--"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." --Frederick Douglass
