Reading a book

We are going to read a book for English.

Every title on the Book suggestions OB list or the Bookflix OB ATC  PowerPoint is fine. Both of these documents can be found in the "studiewijzers" on the ELO.

If you would like to read something else, please ask me for permission first! Make sure to choose a book that fits your level of command in English! So not too difficult, but also not too easy.

Deadline for handing in your book title: Monday the 31st of March.  

Reading log & poster

While reading your book, you will fill out a reading log to prepare for the poster you are going to make when you have finished reading the book.

Deadline for reading the book + handing in your reading log: Friday the 16th of May!

In the week of 19th May - 23rd of May you will make a poster about your book at school!
