The girl who stood up for Education

As usual - I want you to record your discussion and send it to ulrikaselever@gmail.com

You have, at home, read the text about Malala and it has now been time to do some reflections about the text. I want you to:

1. Talk about the text - what is the text about? Did you understand everything in the text? Did you get any questions while reading the text which you can discuss with your group mates?

Discuss the following questions:

2. Malala had to fight for her right to go to school. Do you think kids in Sweden take school and education for granted?
3. Malala wanted to change the society she was living in. Is there anything that you would like to change in society? How would you make people aware of that problem?
4. There is a saying in English that goes “the pen is mightier than the sword”. What does the saying mean? How is the saying connected to the text Malala?

Life on Scilly..

Life on Scilly is a series of six programmes which deals with the everyday life activities for teenagers and brings up topics such as friendship, school, hobbies and dreams for the future.

The coming lessons, these last weeks, we will develop our oral skills. We will begin to see an episode every lesson and then you will do some reflections about the episode in your study group.

Episode 1- Meet the Islanders

Oliver Twist - after the film

We will finish the film during today´s (Wednesday) lesson. We have 30 minutes left before the film has come to the end. After we have finished the movie, you will discuss three questions in your study group. You find these under the headline "Oliver Twist".

Oliver Twist - the movie

Today, we will see the film "Oliver Twist" which is based on the novel written by Charles Dickens. We have read the story so I think you will recognise some things in the story.

Finishing assignment Oliver Twist continues week 17

You find the finishing assignment under the headline "Oliver Twist" to the right. There, you can also read a question to discuss. I want you to write down your thoughts as a comment to this question and then give a reply to at least two friends before you begin to do the last assignment.

Choose one of the three assignments to work with. Write down your text in Google doc and share your text with Ulrika. Your assignment shall be finished no later than 29th of April.

Raeding project continues Weeks 15 - 16

This week, you keep on reading the story about Oliver Twist. Make sure you know that you will finish reading the story in time. You have two lessons this week and two lessons the following week (week 16) to read the story. If you think you won´t manage to finish reading the story at school, you need to read at home.

Oliver Twist

We keep on reading the story about Oliver Twist. We read 40 minutes and discuss the story in groups 20 minutes.

The aim of discussing the story is to make sure that everyone understand the story. You are allowed ta speak about it in Swedish - the most important is that everyone in your group understand what the story is about.

If you don´t know what to discuss - take help from these questions:

• The setting - what is the story about?
• Where does the story take place
• Who is Oliver? Tell bout him and his personality. 

Oliver Twist written by Charles Dickens

We will now read the story of Oliver Twist. After you have finished reading the story I want you to choose one of the following writing assignments and write it in Google document. Share your text with Ulrika and your friends in your study group.

1. Letter to the Editor

Imagine that you live in Charles Dicken´s time. Write a letter to a newspaper describing the life of a child in the workhouse and giving your opinion of it.

   2. Write a diary

Imagine Oliver Twist went to school and learned to read and write. Choose an episode and write his diary in the first person. Explain what happened to you (the transfer to the workhouse, the work, the request for food, the punishment to the cell, the stay at Mr Sowerberry’s, the fight, and finally the escape).

Describe how you felt and what your hopes were.

3. Newspaper report

Prepare a newspaper report about the death of Bill Sikes. Make notes in your notebook under these headings and then write your report:

The death of Sikes

• Who was Sikes?
• How did he die?
• Why were people chasing him?
• What else had he done?

Nancy´s murder

• Who was Nancy?
• How was she killed?
• Who found her body?
• Why did Sikes kill her?

The group of thieves

• Who did Sikes work with?
• What has happened or is going to happen to them?

Now, write your report.

Good night Mr. Tom - speaking activity

We have now seen the film Good Night Mr. Tom and it has been time to talk about the film. You will have four discussion questions which I want you to speak about in your study groups and record your speaking and then send your audio file to me (ulrikaselever@gmail.com). Make sure everyone in your group understand the questions.  As a final assignment - look at the last question and create a Canva which you, later on, will present to your classmates (you don't need to record your discussion about this question).

• From early on in the story, we understand that William´s home life has not always been a happy one. Discuss your impression of William´s childhood in London, referring to specific clues you may find in the story. 
• If William never had gone to Little Weirwold and experienced such love and friendship there, he would still think his life in London to be normal. Discuss this view. 
• Do you think Tom Oakley was right to travel to London and bring Willam back home to Little Weirwold? Should he have “rescued” him from the hospital? 
• How do you think the children felt when they were told to leave their homes in London and travel far away to a strange place called Little Weirwold?

Good night Mr Tom

Good Night Mr. Tom is a story about eight-year-old William who lives in London during WW2. We will see the film in class and later on, you will have some questions to discuss in your study groups.

Great Britain week 4 - 6

We keep on writing about our trip to Great Britain.

The trip assignment

Imagine you are on a trip in Great Britain without your family and friends. They want you to write some blog entries which they can read and follow while you are on your trip.
Choose at least five attractions or places which you visit during your trip. Write a blog entry for each one of your visits. Tell about what you see, what you do, give interesting historical information and, of course, tell where the attraction is situated.
You also think about the likenesses and differences between the countries in Great Britain and Sweden while you are travelling. You choose to tell your friends and family at home about at least one of these likenesses or differences.  
Remember that there are four countries to visit - but you are free to choose where to go.
