British vs American

 

 

 

Speaking of differences between British and American... Enjoy!

 

 

Thursday September 10

First we will read and listen to "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost on p.33 in Stunt and talk about the poem.

Then:

You are to take a walk outside. The only thing you can take with you is a pen and a notebook / piece of paper. While you are outside, walking, you must think about the questions below and write down keywords.

- What do you see? (People, houses, cars, trees, etc)

- What do you hear?

- What do you smell?

- Describe the road you are walking along (size, function, location, physical appearance)

- Where does this road lead you?

Use your keywords and write a poem which you post on your blog.

No Man is an Island - working with poetry and song lyrics

You will read one poem and  listen to two songs:

• Donne: No Man is an Island (poem, p. 14 in Stunt)
• Paul Simon: I am a Rock

• Rogers and Hammerstein: You’ll Never Walk Alone

Answer these questions and post the answers on your blog:

1) What do they say about our relationship With each other?
2) Write a brief comment on your blogs, describing the difference.
3) Which song did you like best and why?

Welcome

This blog will mainly be used as a starting point for written assignments. Each and one of you will have your own blog where you post the texts you produce during the English classes.
Feel free to comment on other blogs, but keep it positive. This is meant to be a good thing for everybody.
Of course you may also post other things than assignments given to you by your English teacher. If you have read a book or seen a film that you would recommend to others, you can post a contribution.

Happy blogging!
