6. SLAVERY & A NOVEL Distance1

Now we will discuss and read about an extremly important and necessary topic, which is truly up to date, thanks to the BLM (Black Lives Matters) movement which once again has reminded the world that even though slavery is forbidden in most parts of the world it does not mean that it has vanished. Racism reminds us of that.

1.      
READING A NOVEL

 

 

You will read a novel, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, that will be discussed in class. You will read this book mainly at home and prepare yourself for the Book talks (1-4). This can be done by doing exercises in a book journal, where you also can find page numbers specified for each book talk. In class we will discuss and work with the novel. At the end there will be a written essay/test based on the novel.

HERE you have the book journal to use while you read and the book talks.

You can borrow the book from Campusbiblioteket, buy it online or read it online.

HERE you can listen to the novel and follow the novel context sentences.
