Thread about the books they are reading

The members of Our digital stories are following a thread in the e-twinning platform about the kind of books they are reading. We have added some of the first answers by teachers and students.

Alba Chavarria: Yes, I’m reading a book right now. It is called Alys Gareth’s Daughter and some students of my class are reading it as well. The author of the book is our English teacher, Emigdi. The story is not always easy to follow because of high level grammar, but it’s a very good way to continue learning English.

Paula Oliván: Yes, at the moment I’m reading an English book to get better my mark of this subject, the title is Alys Gareth’s Daughter and the author is my English teacher. It’s very interesting and is good to learn more English.

Mirta KOS KOLOBARIC: At the moment, I am not reading anything except Erasmus project guidelines! When I do have time, I prefer reading English books to those in Croatian. I like all books by Cecelia Ahern, and the one that really moved me last summer was Please look after mum, by a Korean author, Shin Kyung-sook. Next on my reading list as soon as find the time are Emigdi’s books!

MÒNICA SUBIRATS SEBASTIÀ: Morning everyone! Yes, I am reading a few books in English! It’s my passion! These are my books’ list: The edible woman by Margaret Atwood, One of the books in the Outlander collection, Drums of Autumn, by Diana Gabaldon, and The Armour of light by Ken Follet. Enjoying all of them! What about you?

Emigdi Subirats: I am not reading any book in English at the moment, I am afraid. I daresay the best one I read is Things fall apart by Chinua Achebe, one of the greatest 20th century African novelists.

International teams start story-writing

International teams start working collaboratively after dealing with the check-list and the netiquette rules. The task was explained in class by every teacher and students now have to work collaboratively on the story writing. They have to agree on the genre they want to write about, the structure they want to follow as well as respecting the different parts a good plot must include. All that was dealt with in detail in the International online meet-up that took place on Jan 10th. Now it’s students’ turn. Happy writing!
