ROOM by Emma Donoghue

This term we will be reading Room by Emma Donoghue. You will be expected to discuss the novel on your speaking test, and you might want to use it for your Individual Oral in 5H. Therefore, it would be a good idea to take notes while reading. 

What do you think the book is going to be about?

Now read the first three pages in ROOM. 

What situation do you think Jack and Ma are in?

Who do you think 'Old Nick' is?

Are there any questions you have/things you didn't understand?

Work in pairs

One of you will research what happened to Jaycee Lee Duggard, the other one will research Elisabeth Smart's story.

Tell each other what you've learnt. 

For a group of three: Natascha Kampusch
