In this assignment, you are going to read a book, and talk about it in groups.
Please choose a book from the book list in the English Team.
Choose a group of 3-5 people to do the presentation for. The group members should have different books.
Sign up in the groups list in the file archive in Teams. You teacher will then make a presentation time table and put it also in the file archive in Teams.
Prepare to do two oral presentations by making keywords about the information for presentations 1 and 2 below. Look at how many pages your book contains and then divide them by 2. When the time table says presentation 1, you need to have read half of your book. When the timetable says presentation 2, you need to have finished reading the book.
We will spend some lessons reading the book, but you might also need to read on your own as homework.
