oral activity: reading aloud

Find a text that you want to share with the rest of the class, contextualize it (say where it belongs to, who its author was) and explain why you find it interesting. Then read it aloud for one minute. This is your oral activity for the second term. When you are done, post a short summary of your experience on the blog.

Your text may be a newspaper article, a poem, a song, a novel, a review, a personal letter, a biography… whatever will do as long as it is in English.
