Module 5. Literary works
All the tasks will be conducted in Zoom with the teacher during the classes. Here is the link: ....
However, if you miss the class, you are supposed to do them by yourself and send to the teacher.
Class 1
Fill in the crossword
Fill in the gaps with the words given, using them in the right form.
Now you will do a role-play. You will work in a group. You will get the cards with your roles: there will be readers, writers and book critics. Then I will select the book which you should discuss in the same way it was performed in the listening task. Don’t forget to use the vocabulary of the lesson. (Continous assesment)

Task 2
1. At home you were supposed to write a short description of the main characters from the books chosen at the beginning of the semester. In the class you will be reading your descriptions, while the others will have to guess who you will be talking about.
2. Read some elements of descriptions (and characteristics) of the main characters given by author. You should analyze these characteristics and explain by which means the author describes certain characters and how we can understand the author’s attitude to this or that character.
3. You will be working in a group and take part in the debates. While taking part in the debates you will represent main characters of your book.
First, working in pairs, choose the characters who you will represent.
Then choose the topic for your debates (a topic which can be interesting and controversial for these characters). While debating, try to express your opinion through this character's point of view. Do not forget to use the inversion constructions and the words from previous lessons.
Example:
Mr. Darcy (from 'Pride and Prejudice') and Jane Eyre (from 'Jane Eyre').
The topic of the debates: 'Should love always be a sacrifice?'
