Your focus over the holiday break should be on completing your reading of our core text, The Book Thief
A longitudinal investigation of the Magical Realism genre via a self-selected study of written texts and films.
After yesterday’s great class meeting where we discussed some of the concrete evidence of the Magical Realism genre as it has appeared in the text so far, now it’s time to snuggle up and read for the Easter break.
Here’s your first daily lesson outline. You can expect to receive one of these each morning when you have English on your timetable that day. This period the plan is simple. We’ll get together in our hangout to check in at the beginning of the period and then you’re encouraged simply to head to a snug place at home and read on.
