ALP B12

Dear Students,
For your Autonomous Learning Project this month, you will have to read a short story. Please, read the story all the way through once without using a dictionary. You will notice that there are some passages that are not clear. Then, read it a second time also without using a dictionary. This time, you will notice that some of the things that were not clear the first time are clear now. At this moment you will have an idea of what the story is about. Read the story a third time. While you are reading the story this time, you may encounter some new words. Write down these new words on a piece of paper, look up their meanings in a dictionary and write their definitions next to the new words. After you finish reading and writing the new words, you will have to write a 100-120-word composition expressing your opinion about the story using some of the grammar and structures that we have studied this month. You will have to present this paper (with the words, definitions and the composition) the day of the project presentation.


To read the story you will have to enter the following link. After you read the story you'll have to do the activities on the left of the page to complete the activity.
