About your exam

- 10 minutes per person (20 mins per pair)

- each of you will get a set of questions to ask your partner

- you can bring 2 questions yourself (1 per person)

- I may also ask you a few extra questions

- you should fill the time yourself, making sure you both speak the same amount of time (approximately), this is your own responsibilty

- you should bring your notebook and hand it in before the exam

How to prepare (1)

You should be able to explain the following information about your book:

    - themes

    - protagonist - antagonist and other characters

    - plot & setting

    - book structure & title

    - historical / geographical / cultural context of the story

    - literary devices

    - the author (biography, work, ideas - linked to the book)

    - your own opinion

    - ......

How to prepare (2)

- make sure your notebook is neat & complete

- practise comparing your books

- think of 2 questions yourself (1 per person)

- practise answering the questions on ELO (P&G) or in Teams (LoP)

- check out the rubric on ELO

- use your speaking plan to work on your speaking goals

- help each other by giving feedback

An answer = answer + explanation, example, evidence!!

LoP: explain how the 'Author's Note' introduces the theme of storytelling / fiction versus reality

P&G: why is it necessary to the conclusion of the story for the priest to be executed?

Both: what is the role of religion in your books and how do they compare?

Dit hebben we vorige les gedaan, maar ik wil nog een keer uitleggen dat ze steeds echt de betekenis moeten kunnen duiden, dus met achtergrondinfo komen, voorbeelden, etc.
