About a Boy

Läsning av engelsk vuxenroman under fyra veckor med början vecka 3. Var och en ser till att läsa regelbundet. I början av februari får ni en skrivuppgift att förbereda och skriva under vecka 9 (27/2 + 2/3). Viktiga personer att känna till är: Will and Ned; Marcus and Fiona Brewer; Suzie and Megan; Ellie McCrae and Kurt Cobain; Rachel and Alistair; and of course S.P.A.T. Vilka egenskaper kännetecknar var och en? Hur påverkar det hur de interagerar med varandra? Hur förändras de och varför under tiden? Lycka till!
