Let's discuss.....

In England during the 1800s and early 1900s, many people collected insects, rocks, plants, bird eggs, bird nests, and other natural objects as a hobby. Many famous scientists, like Charles Darwin, began their careers in this way.  

Prepare a short talk for the class about hobbies. Use the questions below to help you.  A few students will be selected to speak.

1. What hobbies are popular today in your school?

2. What hobby do you like the most and why?

3. What hobby do you think is ridiculous? Why?

Lets discuss the characters...

Gladys 

Zambo

Professor Summerlee

Lord John Roxton

Edward Malone

Mr. McArdyle

Professor Challenger

Mrs. Challenger

Put chapter 1 and 2 in the correct order.

Edward, a young journalist, was in love with Gladys Hungerton.

She, though, was not interested in him; she wanted to marry a great hero.

Edward went to his boss, Mr McArdle.

McArdle sent him to see Professor Challenger; Edward had to discover if Challenger was a fraud.

Edward asked him to send him on a dangerous mission for the newspaper.

Edward went to visit Challenger.

Unfortunately, Challenger attacked Edward when he discovered that he was a journalist.

But when Edward did not ask a policeman to arrest Challenger, Challenger invited him inside again.

He then told Edward about how he first saw Maple White and his strange drawings.

He also showed Edward a pterodactyl wing.

This convinced Edward that Challenger was not a fraud.
