Post 2: Something to share and discuss: reading articles from the Guardian

Dear All,

Are you fond of reading? Probably you are. Do you read something besides your textbooks in English regularly? I'd like to introduce you to the newspaper The Guardian, a source of news from around Great Britain and the world.

Today I am inviting you to get acquainted with its Culture section. It contains a lot of interesting articles about different aspects of British culture as well as that from around the world. What you need to do is as follows:

1. Look through a couple of articles in the Culture section and choose one that you found interesting.
2. Read it and then share the following information about it with your peers and me:
a) The title
b) The author
c) The link to the article
d) Why you have chosen it
e) A brief explanation of something you learned from the article
f) A couple of things you would like to learn about after reading it
3. Publish this information in your blog.
4. Read 2 posts your peers have written
5. Think of 3 questions you have after reading your peers' posts and share them in your peers' threads. Ask WH-questions and if necessary a question to clarify smth your peer has written about.

Good luck!

Looking forward to reading your posts!

PS If you can't find something interesting in the Culture section, you can share something you will have discovered in some other section. Just follow the same plan you can see above. Don't forget to read and react to your peers' posts.

PSS A friendly reminder: you should publish your posts 2 days before the lesson to give your peers enough time to give you some feedback and also give yours to them. You do not need to comment on everybody's posts but those written by 2 of your peers. Can I ask you to make sure everybody gets some feedback?

Thanks for your cooperation!

Looking forward to reading your posts and comments!
