We are now heading for a world of magic and myths. Make sure to not be late for catching the train from platform nine and
three-quarters.

During these weeks we will look closer up on the magic in the Harry Potter books and the myths and supersticion of our muggler world. If you thought that Rowling chose the names of the person and places out of nowhere - you might think again!

Write a magic story or describe an event!

You are going to write a short story or describe a magic event, using at least 10 of the words from the Magic word list. After a few minutes, your teacher will tell you to switch computer with a friend and let him/her continue writing on your story. This will be repeated a few times. Let's see what kind of stories this will get us!

Watching film

När vi har tittat på en bit av filmen kommer vi svara på frågor. Del 1: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=ZhY4vl2MDES_3FJ8Jydbs2lf37cswoVOn5UQB2MK6JBUMzJaNFpSSlVUMzBTWDE2QjFIRFVTUFpUSC4u

Silent film

We will watch a scene from a Harry Potter film together - but without sound. The class will be devided into 3 groups. While we watch the scene each group will focus on one thing: 1. The characters/persons 2. The surroundings/environment 3. The actions/what is happening The task is to write down words that describe these areas. After watching the scene we will gather the words on the whiteboard. Then we will watch the scene again, but now we change so each group gets a new thing to focus on. The words will be kept for next class. This class we will watch the scene again, now with sound, to understand what they are talking about. Then the task is for each one to write his/her own interpretation of the scene. This text shall be handed in here on UNIKUM. Klippet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfjM5SUkPPg
