THE WAR OF THE WORLDS

Our new project aims at development of reading comprehension skills via translating difficult words and expressions of the original literature version into simple language.

This way our pre-intermediate students will be able to aquire new vocabulary and enjoy famous English and American novels at the same time.

To start strong we've chosen H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds.

Students divide each chapter into short paragraphs and prepare glossaries to them.

They sign their posts starting with the chapter number then the number of the paragraph folowed by three first letters of their surnames and their class number.

For example: ch1p3kow1ad means: chapter 1 paragraph 3 Jan Kowalski class 1ad

Deadline for chapter 1 and 2 is set for: Oct 15 2010

We do invite teachers from other schools to join in, so our library will grow faster and enhance public domain.
